What branch of the government has the power to pardon people found guilty of federal crimes?
The executive branch, but not just any member thereof. Only those at the highest levels of the state and federal executive branches have such authority. The President of the United States has the power to pardon someone convicted of a federal crime. Each state has defined a person or entity capable of pardoning people for crimes committed in their state. An overwhelming majority (~80%) leave this in the hands of the state Governor. The remaining states either leave this power in the hands of a board or committee or a hybrid entity comprised of both the Governor and a board or committee. At the time of this writing these mentioned remaining states include (at least, and in no particular order) Oklahoma, Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia, Idaho, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, South Carolina, and Utah.
