Here's a inquiry that I idea I'd throw out for discussion. Let's enjoin that ane of the civil suits against the President leads to him beingness deposed. In that deposition, he is asked a inquiry in addition to decides to assert his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination, which is his right. Wouldn't such equally assertion survive a tacit admission that the President believes that he cannot pardon himself? If he could pardon himself, in addition to thus how tin he accept the Fifth alongside observe to a federal investigation?
UPDATE: Upon reflection, I encounter that inwards practise it would survive difficult to classify statements that could exclusively self-incriminate for federal crimes (where the pardon ability applies) equally opposed to nation crimes (which the President cannot pardon).
