Activist Monica Lewinsky proposed a constitutional amendment that would prohibit presidents from pardoning themselves.

In an article for Vanity Fair posted Monday, Lewinsky suggested a handful of new constitutional safeguards for democracy. And her suggestion to revoke presidents get out of jail free card took direct aim at former President Donald Trump , who is campaigning again for the White House with 91 criminal charges against him.

They should not be able to wield the most power of anyone in our country and not be held responsible for illegal or unconstitutional actions while wielding that power, Lewinsky wrote. We have a phrase for this already: abuse of power.

Lewinsky leaned on Georgetown constitutional law Professor Neal Katyal to explain how a newly elected Trump could potentially order the Department of Justice to drop the federal charges for election conspiracy and document stealing, if he hasnt been tried in the two cases by then. We wouldnt even get to the pardon power question, Katyal told Lewinsky.

That would contravene every norm in the book, but [Katyal] doesnt doubt that Trump would try to save his own hide, Lewinsky wrote.
