Wtf is a commutation and why can presidents do it?

means that they still carry the conviction but do not have to serve anymore time

Being in charge of the executive branch, the branch ultimately responsible for enforcement of the law, the President has some lee-way with how that law is enforced. That is the "why".

I am not certain that the power of commutation is a "good thing" (too susceptible to political favoritism), but it IS entirely Constitutional.

The President was given the power to pardon/commute. Same as the Governors of the states. There is very sound logic and reasoning behind this.

Sometimes abused but, generally appears to have well handled. I do not think anyone is upset about a number of Trump pardons regarding Jack Johnson; Alice Johnson, etc

According to the artist it is "the Forgotten Man", looks like a buddy I work with, actually.

Looks more like a cross between The Miz and a clean-shaven Daniel Bryan.
