The pardon will come! It just has to wait for the last hours of Bush's term in office. If he did it now, there would be big problems for him.  |
It may not matter in the last hours of his presidency, but in his statement Bush claims;
I respect the jury's verdict. That may place him in a corner.
Article II Section 2 gives the president unquestioned authority to grant pardons. I cn't see any problems arising. He has already been so weakened he couldn't use his 'bully pulpit' to rally support for the immigration bill.
