Other than it violates the UCMJ (look it up) and a small document called the Constitution.

We need better sparring partners here. You guys don’t know which end of a keyboard is up

But is it an official act?

My contentions is that it isn't, that a criminal act clearly outside of the President's authority makes it an unofficial act.(or something similar). YMMV. But we have to see and there are some famous Constitutional lawyers saying that it is an official act.

You do realize that the UCMJ won't make a difference to the President under current interpretations, but to the Generals... what would they be depending on... Pardon Power? I would hate to depend on that.
