At least change the law to state the president can not pardon someone he has a personal relationship with or can not benefit in the pardon in any way.
Trump has shown that people can break the law to help keep someone in power and not face prosecution.
The Presidential pardon could be very dangerous in the wrong hands.
Not without a Constitutional Amendment since the power is directly granted to the President in the Constitution.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
