    I don't quite understand this system of Presidential Pardons; so if the President's friend commits murder, the President has the power to overrule the courts and pardon him?

    Doesn't this smack just a little bit of the Feudal system whereby the King would turn a blind eye to what his barons did, but the average peasant could expect to be hanged for the same crimes? I thought everyone was supposed to be equal in the eyes of the law?
