Congress has not managed to prevent him from doing anything else he wanted to, so I wouldn't count on it.

Do you mean How can Bush be prevented from utilizing his Presidential Privilege and not issue any pardons at the end of his term? I believe if such a motion was to be entertained somewhere you may need valid charges, illegal in content, then organize, Senate & Congress.
I believe it is too late.

No and they SHOULD NOT be able to either.
A presidential pardon is just that ,PRESIDENTIAL, and it is his right to pardon whom he chooses.
Congress does not have the power to pardon nor does it have the right to take that power away.
We would be stepping onto dangerous ground if we start letting one branch take away from or add to the powers of the other branch.
As for those who say Bush did that to Congress with this war in Iraq they are mistaken in the sense that he went to Congress first and asked for the authority.
When he made clear that he had made that decision (as Commander in Chief) Congress did not object so they essentially complied with his desire to make war.
But to return to your question the answer is no they can't.

Border patrol brokers Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean. Why ought to those adult adult males be penalized for doing what they have been employed to do? Justice in this u . s . a . is a great, stinking comedian tale. This u . s . a . is a great, stinking comedian tale.

Unfortunately, no. That is a privilege of the office, even though Bush is a scoundrel.

No, because it is the sole unfettered Constitutional prerogative of the president.

Can a president pardon himself? Just wondering...

He can use the pardon anytime he's in-office. Who do you think he is planning to wrongfully pardon?
