My Penis is hungry Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 Just looked that up, this is interesting It is customary that the federal president becomes the honorary godfather of the seventh child in a family if the parents wish it. He also sends letters of congratulations to centenarians and long-time married couples.[19] They must like big families Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump in just less than 4 years. Also most have been granted posthumously. There is a saying in the UK, “Is it not better to forgive the living than pardon the dead” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Recipients_of_British_royal_pardons 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Just a blanket statement and question...why are there so few pardons around the world. leaving the USA as the leader? I suggest the USA system of justice is extremely corrupt and biased. See the movie/doco I posted, Making a Murderer, clearly exposing the USA justice system.

dean Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Over the last 40-50 years, most Presidential pardons went through a process, where White House lawyers looked at requests, determined the facts of the case and then recommended either to pardon or not. Trump doesn’t follow this process. He pardons people that he knows. He listens to people like that great humanitarian Kim Kardashian He also listens to people and their lawyers pled their case on Fox News. Not exactly a reasonable method to dispense pardons.

Steve Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 trump pardons people based purely on personal and political expediency. As I said before, I'd like to see pardons have the possibility to be overturned by 3/4 of the House and 2/3 of the Senate. I'd also like to see all judgeships that are lifetime appointments (supreme court and federal) be limited tot 25 years and no older than 90. After 25 years they can be reconfirmed up to age 90, but no more lifetime appointments. 25 years is more than enough time for a body of work to review and see if they are too far right or left.
