Dawn Meredith Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I understand that the pardon signed by Gerald Ford was stolen from the Nixon Museum? Does anyone have info on this??Mark Perhaps Gerry had it stolen in a moment of conscience. Seriously tho, it would be very hard to ever learn "who done it", but a simple trip to where ever Tricky has his works -(Whittier?)- would provide the answer to your question. Or even a call to a person who works there might confirm or deny. Dawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. Raymond Carroll Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 (edited) Constitution of the United States, Section 2 The President shall.... have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, [i]except in Cases of Impeachment [/i] Since Richard Nixon was accused of offences which were alleged to be impeachable, and since the House Judiciary Committee had voted articles of Impeachment prior to Nixon's resignation, President Ford had no power to pardon Nixon, so the pardon was and is null and void. Of course you won't read that in the history books, or in the New York Times. Edited July 30, 2006 by J. Raymond Carroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
