What president granted amnesty to the Mormons for the practice of polygamy?

None. Polygamy is illegal, and the Mormons, i.e. members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, haven't performed a polygamous marriage in 120 years. Those who are called Mormons by the media, mostly those who left the Mormon church 120 years ago, are often arrested in Texas, Arizona, and Utah. There is no tacit approval or feeling of camaraderie in Mormon circles (Utah, Idaho, Arizona, Washington) for the Big Love style polygamists the television portrays.
