- colechristensen 4y agoA question meant with the best intent: why didn't you know this? For me, this kind of thing was pretty well covered in high school, and my high school was far from excellent.
- boomboomsubban 4y agoI also didn't really know. High school was thirty years ago, at my school civics was an optional class taught by the football coach, and when learning about how the government works the details of pardons aren't terribly important. I'm sure I read some textbook that said the president can pardon Federal crimes, but my test was something along the lines of "what powers does the executive branch have" and "the pardon" was a good enough answer.
