Ok, perhaps pardon was the wrong word, perhaps some sorta privlege thang.
Yer damn right pardon was the wrong word for you to TRY to use, but it IS what you meant. Nice backpedal there blown.
I'll save your butt the effort again ..... most recent data I have is 21 Dec 2004: 31 pardons & comutations. Thirty-one blown, durring his first term.
A quote on it.:
From 12/21 at 9pm:
According to this AP story, President George Bush granted four pardons today, which gives him a total of just 31 pardons and commutations during his first term.
Relatedly, President Bush has granted only 29 of the 707 pardon cases he has decided to date. This means that his pardon grant rate is less than 3% (his father's pardon grant rate was double that, and all other 20th century Presidents were well into double digits). In addition, the Office of the Pardon Attorney reports that there are over 700 pardon cases still awaiting presidential action -- many of which were filed during the Clinton administration. (This doesn't count the 2000-odd commutation applications that are presently pending).
