1. how do you feel about the presidential pardon? 2. is there a recent presidential pardon you agree with? disagree with? 3.find one example of a contemporary or historical pardon and explain why you agree or disagree with it.

1.- The Pardon Power is one of the most important faculties the president has under the Constitution.  

I feel this capacity must be used with responsibility and ethics, otherwise, the President can get into so much trouble. This power was added by the Founding Fathers in Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution. They stated that the President "will have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment."

2.- In 1992, President George H.W. Bush pardoned six former administration officials that were accused to be involved in the Iran-Contra affair. I agree with this pardon because I think there were elements to justify the action.  

What I agree the most is the ethics and responsibility the President needs to demonstrate when pardon someone because it is alegal forgiveness for a crime, or removing any remaining prison sentence.

3.- Recently, in 2015, a Texas prisioner convicted of drug trafficking refused a pardon from President Barack Obama because the prisoner was first required to go through drug treatment. I agree with the intention of the President and with the condition of rehab first. That way the prisoner should demonstrate first that he was going to do something to improve his condition.
