The bill was introduced by Rep. Johnny Olszewski (D-MD) last December and would allow for a minimum of 20 House members and five senators to call for congressional review of a pardon, which would lead to a 60-day deadline for Congress to nullify that pardon with a two-thirds majority vote – similar to a veto override.

Listen, I think it's great that we're breaking the taboo of pardons being somehow sacrosanct.

But there's exactly one person I can think of that would get 2/3rd of the Congress off their assess to block clemency against.
