There needs to be a constitutional amendment that says that presidents can't pardon themselves, family members, or anyone that worked for them.

The supreme court, after such an amendment miraculously passes:

"Well actually, this sentence doesn't mention the president of the United States in particular, so it means every president of every company ever. But a company president doesn't have pardoning powers, so this makes no sense. So this amendment is invalid!"

Can't do that the best I can do is say they are all fully immune to prosecution.
