I don't think it wise to impeach a POTUS for using a power he is constitutionally granted
Yeah good point. To completely cover his own ass Puddinhead has to give a blanket pardon to his brother also however currently I’m not aware of any pending indictments? So if it does happen the immediate question should be why was it even needed?This pardon was in the best interest of the Biden syndicate.
Anyone want to take bets on Joe issuing a similar pardon to his brother shortly before he leaves office?
I think abuse of that power could still be a valid reason to impeach.
Granted, I wouldn’t bother with this specific scenario. He’s almost out of office and I don’t think the crimes are significant enough.
If we found out Hunter murdered or raped someone during that time period, then I’d fully support impeaching Biden for abusing his constitutional powers

Obstructing Justice Through Pardons Is an Impeachable Offense
Members of Congress, the Supreme Court, and the Founding Fathers have said that abusing the pardon power can be grounds for impeachment.
"The Founding Fathers addressed the issue at hand more directly, as the possibility of the president abusing the pardon power weighed heavily on the minds of some. In an effort to assuage their concerns, James Madison noted that “if the President be connected, in any suspicious manner, with any person, and there be grounds to believe he will shelter him, the House of Representatives can impeach him; they can remove him if found guilty.”
His impeachment occurred on Nov 5.

Well, there is now precedence. Thanks, Joe.
Are you going to bite your tongue when it happens?
I'm not opposed to such pardon based on a conflict of interest. And I don't deny he has the power to do it.
I think it's a poor reflection on the country that people, including especially Trump, are avoiding responsibility for it.
“The real tragedy and threat to the integrity of the office, is not what Biden just did, but what Trump may do” - Leftist since 01/2021Its Trump's fault.
Hey look"I wouldn’t do anything that would be over in terms of Hunter. It’s a sad situation," Trump responded.
"I’ll bet you the father probably pardons him, let's see what happens, but he’s a bad boy, there is no question about it," Trump added.
Trump previously predicted Biden would pardon son Hunter
President-elect Trump predicted to Fox News in October that President Biden would pardon his son Hunter Biden.www.foxnews.com
