This extract from the Huffington Post:

The Pardon/commutation power should not be withdrawn completely, but itshould be amended: Pardons and commutations should be overturnable by a2/3 vote of both Houses, just like a veto (imagine how much moreattention the Libby situation would be getting right now if Congresshad the option of voting on it), and absolutely no pardons in the last90 days of a President's terms so he has to get them out BEFORE theNovember election when his Party can pay a price for illegitimate ones.

has some intriguing possibilities. What do you think?
