    The pardon power of the President extends only to offenses recognizable under federal law. However, the governors of most of the 50 states have the power to grant pardons or reprieves for offenses under state criminal law.  wiki

    The President cannot pardon a state criminal offense. This post was edited by Beans/SilentGeneration at August 31, 2017 9:37 AM MDT

    I did not know that! So The Donald John does have limits? Governors have all the power for their states and The Donald John cannot subvert or override that? Thank you for the info Beans/SG. That brings a smile to my face!  Happy Thursday to thee!  :)
