Outta be a law or Constitutional Amendment that a President cannot pardon between election day and January 21.  

I doubt this would change anything, people would ask for a pardon before election day, and that's merely it.

 

But something has to be done to prevent that, that's for sure.

I've been a fan for a while of a law or CA along the lines of:  

 

Any action taken by the government, during the period between an election, and said election taking effect, can be revisited by the new body after taking office.  If the newly-seated body chooses to re-vote on the matter, and the action fails to be re-approved, then said action is nullified.  If a vote is required to re-approve the measure, it must achieve the same vote required for the original passage.  (For example, if it took 60 votes to pass it the first time, it takes 60 votes to pass the second time.)

Still nothing?  Maybe he really is in a snit because he can't pardon himself or his kids and he isn't going to do for anyone else?  Too hopeful?

 

Or maybe he's waiting to do it tomorrow so that either news of something he did overshadow's Biden's inauguration or gets glossed over because people are covering the inauguration instead of the pardons.

Or he'll only hand them to people who show up at his finale.  Or might hand them out there.
