35. Not quite correct.

" if cheney murders someone on national t.v. and shrub pardons him, congress and impeach and remove cheney (and shrub along with him, i would hope) but no one would be able to prosecute cheney for murder."

The President only has the power to pardon offenses against the United States. In your scenario, Cheney could still be prosecuted under state or local law.
