Pardon Power in the News
BY KIM WEHLE
PARDON POWER: HOW THE PARDON SYSTEM WORKS — AND WHY
Like all discretionary authority, the pardon power is only as virtuous as the person who controls it.

Professor Wehle’s timely book illuminates a vast constitutional power likely to be debated during the 2024 presidential campaign and beyond.
