I think for him to pardon himself he'd have to admit he committed a crime, again I could be wrong. That might stop him as I don't see him ever admitting to anything.

I'd wonder if admitting he wa a criminal would preclude him having the power to grant a pardon?
So the question is, will he pardon the Senator from Alaska who's name escapes me.
