The Lost Chapters: Number 74

July 06, 2011   On Today's Program Original Argument: The Lost Chapters. Translated by Joshua Charles   Glenn couldn't fit all the Federalist Paper translations into his #1 NYT bestselling book The Original Argument -- all this week you'll be getting the Lost Chapters. Today's is on Military Command and Pardon power. Here's a sample:   If I am not mistaken, the wisdom of giving the President the power of pardoning has only been objected to as it relates to the crime of treason. It has been argued that the power to pardon treason should have required the agreement of one, or both Houses of Congress. I won't deny that there are good reasons to require the involvement of one or both Houses of Congress in dealing with pardoning treason. Since treason is a crime which is directed at society as a whole, once it has been lawfully determined that treason was committed, it would seem appropriate to require the consent of Congress in order to show mercy towards whoever was convicted. This should actually be how pardoning treason should be dealt with, since it is not entirely possible to rule out a conspiracy of some sort on the part of the President. But there are also many significant problems with such a plan.   Get the FULL TRANSLATION HERE.   WATCH: Click HERE to watch Glenn sit down with co-author of The Original Argument, Joshua Charles, and discuss the translating process and the role faith plays in preserving the Founders' intent.   Today's Top Stories from The Blaze: It's called 'Haboob': 'HowlingWinds' Drive Massive Dust Storm Across Phoenix - STORY Bachmann Bites Back: They want you to think Tea Party is 'Toothless Hillbillies' - STORY The Hulc!
