The President of the United States of America is the elected official who grants a pardon to one Thanksgiving turkey. It actually is a case of two pardoned turkeys -- an heir and a spare -- in case the first-pardoned bird does not long survive post-White House life as a tourist attraction in Morven Park, Leesburg, Virginia.
