So no crimes convicted of then pardoned.
If he was not pardoned, could Congress still impeach after he resigned?
If so, what penalty could they assign?
Now to Trump- no convictions as you noted was needed, and for the sake of discussion he pardons himself.
My opinion- Off to SCOTUS.
Though I have another opinion that if such arose, similar to Nixon, he resigns and Pence pardons him.
Pence can only pardon him for federal crimes. Any charges brought against Trump and company by the NYS AG are not pardonable, because they are state crimes and not federal.
