John McCain admitting that he was a âwar criminalâ and that was he pardoned by President Richard Nixon for his crimes are some of the current rumors about the Arizona senator. There have been rumors about McCainâs service.
But the Presidential Pardon is a tool the President can use when he feels there has been a miscarriage of justice. There have been pardons in the past (many of which) that have been used for political purposes, and that is wrong. However, I do believe that the President should have the authority to pardon a person for a crime. It is important to note that the President can only pardon people for Federal crimes. He cannot pardon someone charged with a state crime, only the governor of that state can do that.
