Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): delivered. same_term

The promise was to support a specific constitutional amendment process for presidential pardons, not necessarily to secure final ratification. During his federal House term, Thanedar publicly supported and reportedly co-sponsored the Pardon Integrity Constitutional Amendment, whose text matches the promised notice-to-Congress and two-thirds bicameral veto/nullification mechanism. That satisfies the pledged action in the same term.
