There’s a process that the president is expected to follow in granting pardons or granting clemency.



Show me where this process exists in the constitution.

Correct and

“Today, Trump granted clemency to tax cheats, Wall Street crooks, billionaires, and corrupt government officials,” Sanders tweeted. “Meanwhile thousands of poor and working-class kids sit in jail for nonviolent drug convictions. This is what a broken and racist criminal justice system looks like.”

Bernie has been a Law Maker in the US Congress for how long now? (1991 according to Wikipedia) Perhaps if he voted against, or rewrote some legislation, or did something other than his old man get off the lawn routine, these thousands of poor would not be incarcerated now.

Nowhere

Everyone likes to bitch about pardons but I am in the train of there should be way way way way more pardons. The President can do a lot to fix absolutely bullshite federal justice with pardons. Say every single person convicted of a federal gun crime, pardon.

The power is absolute and its not even a question.

Of course these pieces of shite would claim its impeachable.
