House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., blasted Republicans for failing to stand up to the president and for not defending the"rule of law," after the president moved to commute the prison sentence of his longtime friend and former campaign adviser, Roger Stone.
Schiff acknowledged that the House intends to pass legislation to ensure that no president can pardon or commute the sentence of an individual who is engaged in a cover-up campaign to shield that president from criminal prosecution -- but that the Republican Senate would likely block the measure. — This Week July 12, 2020 "That means that we will have to wait until next year to pass this legislation to discourage further abuses of the pardon or commutation powers," Schiff said."I think anyone who cares about the rule of law in this country is nauseated by the fact that the president has commuted the sentence of someone who willfully lied to Congress," he added.
— This Week July 12, 2020 "President Trump has engaged in countless acts that are both self-serving and destructive to our democracy while in office, but commuting the sentence of Roger Stone, a crony who lied and obstructed our investigation to protect Trump himself, is among the most offensive to the rule of law and principles of justice, Schiff said in a statement.

When he is voted out in November he will refuse to leave office. Then what? No. SCOTUS did not say that.
