The president's power to release a person from the punishment or legal consequences of a crime is through the use of a pardon. A presidential pardon is a legal forgiveness of a crime and can be granted to individuals who have been convicted of federal offenses.
Pardons relieve a person of any punishment for crime. Reprieves temporarily postpone punishments.
A person can be released from legal punishment through various means, such as having their conviction overturned on appeal, receiving a pardon from a government official, completing their sentence, or being granted parole from prison. Each case is unique and may involve specific legal procedures and requirements for release from punishment.
