1. Charges can be pressed despite the pardon |
|
It would then be up to the judge to determine whether the pardon was valid, and whether it covered the crime the trial was meant for. The pardon would probably hold, though.

A federal court can overturn a governor's pardon, IIRC.
But I'm sure that a presidential pardon is final and cannot be overturned, per the Constitution.

3. It depends on the state constitution |
|
I am not aware of any state where the power to pardon can be overturned once issued. Nor is that a route I want to go down either, which could set a bad precendent that a pardon can be a reversible decision.
The proper remedy in a case like this would be impeachment.

4. Charges can still be brought up. |
|
But it depends on the pressure.....so I highly reccomend putting full frontal pressure on all congress and the Bush admin.
