Can't pardon state crimes nor cases of impeachment.
Arguably, if you impeach someone in public office, even if they aren't convicted by the Senate, any pardon of those same acts becomes moot and they can be tried in court for the same offenses. At least, that's what the DoJ suggested in 2000.
This Congress won't impeach Trump. If they were willing to, they would've already.
This Congress probably won't, but the next one might.
They could impeach again, but senate will refuse to convict. If Jan 6 didn't motivate them to stop this, nothing will.
Most of the seats up for reelection in 2026 are Dem seats. North Carolina is the only one I can realistically see Dems flipping.
