Nixon could stand trial pardon bars punishment
The Supreme Court's Nixon pardon debate suggests he could be tried and convicted in Watergate but not punished. Field's Ex Parte Garland guides the view that a pardon prevents penalties, not the trial itself, and no case shows a pardoned person being retried. Brushing aside political actions, impeachment remains possible though unlikely, and Nixon’s civic rights are protected by the pardon.
