Best Answer

The president can pardon or excuse people charged with federal crimes. He can pardon people from future indictments associated with past acts, as Gerald Ford did for Richard Nixon. He can also pardon people convicted by military courts martial and can issue blanket amnesty for all people who have violated laws that are no longer applicable as Carter did for people to fled the country to dodge the military draft during the Vietnam War .
