Trump’s Pardon of Giuliani: How Presidential Clemency Powers Work

The article discusses the presidential clemency powers in the United States, focusing on former President Trump's potential pardon of Rudy Giuliani. The article explains that the president's pardon power is one of the most absolute and misunderstood provisions of the Constitution, with its roots dating back to the English monarchs' "prerogative of mercy." The founders of the United States wanted a robust pardon power to allow for exceptions in cases of "unfortunate guilt" by the justice system, as explained by Alexander Hamilton. The article does not provide any information about Trump's potential pardon of Giuliani or the specific circumstances surrounding it. It focuses solely on the historical context and legal framework of the presidential pardon power in the United States.
