Etwas mehr Kontext: Biden ist gerade "on the roll" und wird wohl nicht nur den Truthahn begnadigen...

Das hier sind alles Begnadigungen für "nicht-gewaltätige" Vergehen:

Wobei "clemency" sowohl die echte Begnadigung (pardon), als auch die Strafminderung oder die Strafaufschiebung (insbesondere bei zum Tode Veurteilten) umfasst.

Since Biden took office, no federal inmate has been executed. Trump has promised to start up federal executions again and said he wants to expand their use.

That is why Biden is facing growing pressure to commute the death sentences for all 40 inmates on federal death row as one of his final acts in office. Article Two of the Constitution gives a President unchecked power to pardon a federal crime or commute a federal sentence, including a death sentence.

Interessanterweise könnte unter Trump eventuell bald auch Snowden begnadigt werden:

Trump’s pick for director of national intelligence, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, co-sponsored a resolution in September 2020 calling on the United States to drop all charges against Snowden.

A person close to Gabbard told The Post clemency for Snowden issue remained important to her and that she would likely push for that in Trump’s second term.
