Top Ten Celebrity Pardons for Bush

Who will President Bush pardon when he leaves office? One of the most powerful rights that can be given to a President is the right to pardon criminals. The last president before Bush, who was Bill Clinton, pardoned 140 people near the end of his term according to a US Department of Justice website. Some of those pardoned included the President's brother Roger Clinton and twenty-two people convicted of drug crimes.

The current President Bush's father pardoned 129 people by the time he left office.

Pardons typically happen at the end of a Presidential Term which may help to explain the pardon choices. Current President Bush has already pardoned "Scooter" Libby who worked in his White House.

The President literally has millions of people to pick from when he considers new pardons.
