I've never heard that, never heard of it happening, and don't believe it's true. However, I've never researched it. Can you cite an example or a source?
- rosser 10y agoI remember reading something some time ago about Grant having reversed some of Johnson's pardons, but I'm not finding a reference to specifics, so I may be mistaken. EDIT: Found it. See my post up-thread for a link.
