I was amazed that there is no limit to how many pardons a president van issue (let alone take money for it) but now I learn that Governors can pardon too?
How can people accept this in a civilized wold?
governors can pardon state level crimes. And a pardon is just the executive branch of government saying that they are not going to enforce any punishment against a person who was convicted of a crime.
And people are ok with that?
Considering the incarceration rates in the us, yes.
