No. The power of the pardon is explicitly granted to the President in the text of the Constitution, and it provides no mechanism for reversing such pardons. It’s meant to be a check against unjust laws and/or corrupt courts, and presidents who would corruptly abuse the power for their own profit are supposed to be removed from office via impeachment—but as we’ve seen, Congress won’t even remove a president who orchestrates a mob attack against themselves as part of a scheme to overthrow an election.

ICP have a meme-famous lyric that goes thusly:

Water fire air and dirt, fucking magnets, how do they work? And I don't wanna talk to a scientist, Y'all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed.

You keep handwaving Kirk being a moral monster who was actively making the nation and the world a significantly more hostile & dangerous place for millions of disadvantaged human beings as “You just disagree with him.” Why?

No, that’s “The Americas.” In English, it’s widely understood that “America” on its own is referring to the USA.

No, see, you’re thinking of “Rule of Law,” the principal wherein the same set of laws apply equally to everyone regardless of station. “Law and Order” has always been conservative NewSpeak for keeping the lower classes disenfranchised and demoralized via fear of Law Enforcement.

“I was just giving orders.”
