The Obama number is also high because the designer combined Obama's first and second terms into one figure, unlike what he did with the other presidents who served two terms.

Hmm, I see the issue.. The DOJ website lists all of Obama's as once, so I need to modify the parser.. https://www.justice.gov/pardon/pardons-granted-president-barack-h-obama-2009-2017 https://www.justice.gov/pardon/pardons-granted-president-bar... Compare that to the other list. https://www.justice.gov/pardon/clemency-recipients https://www.justice.gov/pardon/clemency-recipients

  That's probably intentional on the DOJ's part at this point.

    not sure why you think it's intentional. But, created a github issue, and will work on that today/tonight.. yay GLM 5.1 :) https://github.com/vidluther/pardonned/issues/23 https://github.com/vidluther/pardonned/issues/23

      Stuff like this is very common. For example, at the start of Trump's second term, the whitehouse history page was changed to make democrat presidents look bad - https://www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-white-house/the-white-house/ https://www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-white-house/the-white-h...

        That link is entirely about the East Wing ballroom expansion. I don't see any criticism of anyone there.

        Swipe through the "Major Events Timeline". It would be funny if it wasn't so sad how petty it is.

      I meant it's probably intentional that the data being represented differently on the DOJ's website, not your tracker website.

    clinton-1 and clinton-2 are distinct. I think it's more likely collected differently. The people gathering data will change. Someone with different data standards worked there for a while.

Even so, it’s still higher than the other presidents listed

  Indeed. It took me a bit to remember why. There was a clemency program for nonviolent drug offenders with otherwise clean records who had served at least 10 years in federal prison under out of date sentencing guidelines.
