Kim Wehle is a law professor, a constitutional law and separation of powers expert, an ABC News legal analyst, a former federal prosecutor, and the author of three books (links below). She also has a fourth book set to be released on September 2nd that could not be more timely: "Pardon Power: How The Pardon System Works - And Why."
