Also, no person convicted in an impeachment trial may receive a pardon.Reprieve - the delay or postponement of an execution sentence. The date may be moved back, but the execution is not canceled.Power of Commutation- reducing the length of a sentence or a finance imposed by a federal court.Amnesty - Finally, the President may grant amnesty, which is a group pardon to a large number of people who have violated the law.

What arguments would you expect people to give for the against president carter's decision to grant amnesty to Americans who had evaded the draft?
Argument against Carter's blanket pardon to draft dodgers.Defending the country is a duty of a citizen. If a person refuses to serve his country when he is called to defend it, and renounces his citizenship why should it just be handed back to him? Conscientious objectors are not forced to carry a gun but are able to serve in the medical corps and elsewhere. Thousands who did not really favor the war obeyed the draft , fought and died in Vietnam. Others went to jail and paid the penalty for their civil disobedience. Surely those people who simply left the country took the easy way out and deserve no special amnesty.
