This is a list of people pardoned by George W. Bush. Bush, a Republican, served as the 43rd president of the United States from 2001 to 2009.
Constitutional authority
The pardon powers of the president are outlined in Article Two of the United States Constitution (Section 2, Clause 1), which provides:
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.
Definitions
- A pardon is an executive order granting clemency for a conviction, it may be granted "at any point after the...commission" of the crime.[1] As per Justice Department regulations, convicted persons may only apply five or more years after their sentence has been completed.[2] However, the president's power to pardon is not restricted by any temporal constraints except that the crime must have been committed. Its practical effect is the restoration of civil rights and statutory disabilities (i.e., firearm rights, occupational licensing) associated with a past criminal conviction.[2] In rarer cases, such as the pardon of Richard Nixon, a pardon can also halt criminal proceedings and prevent an indictment.
- A commutation is the mitigation of the sentence of someone currently serving a sentence for a crime pursuant to a conviction, without vacating the conviction itself.[2]
