This business of making the norms more explicit isn’t really helpful. By the time you’re seriously thinking of writing down “the president cannot pardon himself for his own crimes, nor can he use pardons to block investigations of his own crimes”, you’ve already lost.

Democracy dies when enough voters want a dictatorship, no matter what has been written down, and the US is very close to that tipping point with the total corruption of the Republican party.
