First, let me say there is considerable misinformation on some partisan websites, and Mr. Obama has not "pardoned terrorists," contrary to what you might read. Most of those whose sentences he commuted were low-level drug dealers, who may have been over-charged under previous drug laws. The Justice Department has a list of the people whose sentences Mr. Obama commuted, or who received a pardon. The link is https://www.justice.gov/pardon/obama-commutations

What power does the President have to commute sentences?

According to article II section 2 of the Constitution, the president "shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment."However, the word "commute" does not appear. Furthermore, according to answers.com on pardon-power:Thomas http://www.answers.com pardoned ten newspaper printers who had been convicted under the http://www.answers.com Act of 1798. Along with those pardons, Congress voted to remit the printers' fines, suggesting that the original understanding of the president's power did not extend that far.pardon-powerThe legal question then seems to be whether or not the commutation of a prison sentence fall under the legal umbrella of a "reprieve." A reprieve is, as I understand it, a delay in the carrying out of a sentence.On the other hand, Patrick Fitzgerald's comment from yesterday explicitly accepted that President Bush does have this power.
