Excellent observations! I understand that an executive order of one governor or president can be overturned by his or her successor.

I am wondering. If a governor commutes the sentence of a prisoner or pardons him, can a subsequent governor reverse that action and return someone to prison if the individual has not been involved in any subsequent misconduct? I doubt that a new governor can do that. Taking away voting rights might raise similar issues.

Voting isn't all it's cracked up to be.

It's getting harder and harder to tell the R's from the D's.
