Bush can't pardon Schiavo because she's not the one who committed the crime here. He can, however, however do what BJ Klintoon did with Elian Gonzalez, and send armed federal agents to take custody by force and remove Schiavo to a military hospital for treatment.

I don't see how he has the power to do that. Article IV gave Congress the power to order a federal court to review the case, which was fine--but using troops to move a civilian to a military facility?

Why would that be okay for Terri, but not okay for Elian? Double standard?
