I think the worry is that it's not a pardon. I don't know what protections she has since he is merely commuting the sentence.

Article 2 Section 2 of the US Constitution:

quote:

and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

There's no un-commute option and I doubt Trump would be able to find a court that would limit the President's power here.
