| | A pardon (at least in the United States) absolutely terminates criminal liability, including any restrictions that result from a criminal conviction (though the pardoned person is not exonerated from the civil liability that a crime may have incurred). | | | The Constitution of the United States gives the president power to grant reprieves and pardons for all federal crimes, but he may not release a person from the effects of impeachment; pardons issued by the president are unreviewable. | | | A pardon is thus to be distinguished from alleviation of punishment (such as commutation of sentence, reprieve, and parole), which does not nullify the conviction and all of its effects. |

| | Pardon is an act of a sovereign, in pure sovereignty, granting simply a remission of the penalty due to sin, but securing neither honor nor reward to the pardoned. | | | justification (q.v.), on the other hand, is the act of a judge, and not of a sovereign, and includes pardon and, at the same time, a title to all the rewards and blessings promised in the covenant of life. |

| | Pardon Information and Instructions |
| | Because the federal pardon process is exacting and may be more time-consuming than analogous state procedures, you may wish to consult with the appropriate authorities in the state of your residence regarding the procedures for restoring your state civil rights. | | | If you are requesting pardon of a court-martial conviction only, you should submit your completed petition directly to the Secretary of the military department that had original jurisdiction in your case, completing questions 2 through 6 and question 15 of the petition form to show all pertinent information concerning your court-martial trial and conviction. | | | The Office of the Pardon Attorney does not disclose information regarding the nature or results of any investigation that may have been undertaken in a particular case, or the exact point in the clemency process at which a particular petition is pending at a given time. |

| | Constitutional Topic: Presidential Pardons - The U.S. Constitution Online - USConstitution.net |
| | Such pardons, however, are rare, and general procedures dictate that at least five years of a sentence should be served before a pardon is considered. | | | Currently, the only way to change the pardon power is by constitutional amendment, though history has shown that the scope of the power can be modified by the courts (as in the acceptance doctrine). | | | The argument was that when the power to pardon is granted, it should be granted only to a few people, or, in the case of the U.S. Constitution, to just one person. |

| | The significance of a presidential pardon is that it removes or eliminates all disabilities that arise from the federal or military offense that is the subject of the pardon. | | | At least one California Court of Appeals has, in the Bradford case, expressly recognized the presidential pardon as eliminating certain state disabilities of this type, such as prospective criminal liability under the California "felon with a gun" statute. | | | Applications for pardons shall relate only to violations of laws of the United States. |

| | Pardon warrants were signed by the President four or five times a year, and there was no particular increase in grants at the end of an administration. | | | Clearly pardons made by a lame-duck President who no longer faces the judgment of the voters, especially where there may be a suggestion of personal interest or political interest, merits attention not only by the court of public opinion, but also by thoughtful policymakers. | | | Rather, these decisions looked to the common law in determining that a pardon is a private ''act of grace'' bestowed by the President—going so far as to hold in one case that a pardon must be accepted by its recipient in order to be valid. |
