The pardon power is not related to the "crime", but is to forgive the sentence. She has been sentenced to death, and the President could stop it.

And under our federalist system, he doesn' have the power to intervene within what is essentially a state matter.
This will have to be resolved within the State of Florida.

The pardon power is not related to the "crime", but is to forgive the sentence. You need to stop malpracticing law without a license. You're thinking of a commuting a sentence - a pardon does relate to the crime.

She has been sentenced to death, and the President could stop it. No she hasn't. This has to be the most idiotic thread ever to appear on FR.
