Does President Trump fully understand the legal requirements governing presidential pardons?  Has he even bothered to read Article II, Section 2, Clause 1 of the constitution? 
 
It would appear not.  Consider his recent pardon of personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani. 
 
The pardon was issued just after a working lunch with Giuliani in the White House.  The president and his attorney had just settled in the adjacent room for coffee when Rudy let out a not so subtle belch. 
 
“Pardon me,” said Giuliani. 
 
“Okay,” said the president.
