Indeed. Seems a weird 'law' or whatever. In theory, they seemingly could release like..terrorists or serial killers on a whim. Seems wrong. There really should be some form of safeguard in place there, rather than 'oh the president has woken up and decided that the boston bomber should be let out tday, there you go' and such
Is the theory that the president
could (not likely though but interesting) pardon each and every criminal and empty out the prisons completely correct?! Thats the first thing stepson said when he heard of this.
