How often do presidents issue blanket pardons like this?
Has he effectively overturned a law established by elected legislators, and how does that reconcile with separation of powers between the executive and legislative branch?
Why'd he exclude visitors/tourists (and would equivalent state pardons issued by governors)?
- rkagerer 4y agoNote: Presidents can't issue pardons for future offenses (although a pardon can be issued for an offense that has not yet been charged).
