A presidential pardon is the forgiveness of crime of a person, the penalty imposed is therefore retracted. Pardon of crime in United Sates is granted by the president. This is to ensure the check and balance in the government's branches. The main objective of presidential pardon is to correct judicial errors, however many critics said that pardons are often used for the sake of political convenience.
The lists of Pardons granted by each of the US president are as follows.
1. George Washington - Tom the Tinker
2. James Madison - Jean Lafitte, Pierre Lafitte and the Baratarian Pirates
3. Andrew Jackson - George Wilson
4. James K. Polk - John C. Fremont.
5. James Buchanan - Brigham Young
6. Andrew Johnson - Dr. Samuel Mudd, Edmund Spangler and Samuel Arnold
7. Grover Cleveland - David King Udall
8. Warren Harding - Eugene V. Debs
9. Calvin Coolidge - Marcus Garvey
10. Harry Truman - Oscar Collazo
11. Richard Nixon - Jimmy Hoffa and Angelo De Carlo
12. Gerald Ford - Richard Nixon, Robert E. Lee and Iva Toguri D Aquino
13. Jimmy Carter - Oscar Collazo, G. Gordon Liddy, Peter Yarrow, Vietnam draft dodgers, Jefferson Davis and Patty Hearst
14. Ronald Reagan - George Steinbrenner, Junior Johnson, W. Mark Felt and Edward S. Miller
15. George H.W. Bush - Elliott Abrams, Armand Hammer, Robert C. McFarlane and Caspar Weinberger
16. Bill Clinton - Roger Clinton Jr, Patty Hearst, Marc Rich, Pincus Green, Dan Rostenkowski, Susan McDougal, Henry Cisneros, Mel Reynolds Henry O. Flipper, John Deutch, Rick Hendrick, Vicki Lopez Lukis
17. George W. Bush - Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Leslie Owen Collier, Jose Compean and Ignacio Ramos
The US Department of Justice recommends that anyone who wishes to request for a pardon must wait after five years after conviction before receiving a pardon however the pardon may be given anytime by the US president and therefore brought controversy when former president Gerald Ford pardoned former president Richard Nixon even if the latter was not yet even convicted nor formally charged with a crime.
The acceptance of pardon does not mean acquittal of the crime committed, when a person accepts the pardon he or she is also affirming his guilt to the crime committed and therefore will not remove the record of conviction.
The power of a US president to give pardon only extends to offenses within the jurisdiction federal law while the state governors have the power to pardon offenses under the state criminal law. While the pardon given by the US president restores many rights that were lost after conviction, they must still disclose the conviction on any form when required.

Jackson $15.35 He became a legend at the Battle of New Orleans during the War of 1812. Before that he was a fiercely passionate senator who could barely finish a speech without becoming choked with rage. He was called coarse and illiterate. A slave owner, land speculator, and Indian fighter, he stole another man's wife, murdered men in duels, and ordered military executions. But Andrew Jackson--or Old Hickory as his soldiers dubbed him--was an impassioned supporter of universal suffrage, an ardent believer in the will of the people, and the seventh president of the United States. In "Jackson, " Max Byrd has recreated the life and times of this powerful, controversial, and contradictory man told from a variety of viewpoints, including an unfinished and uncomplimentary biography of the General, a remembrance by his closest personal aide and confidant, and the research of a young writer named David Chase. Chase knows very well that his biography could ruin Jackson's chances in the upcoming presidential election. Still, he is determined to write the first unbiased account of the General's life. Was Jackson really a charismatic demagogue, a crude backwoods barbarian, a representative of the decline of American democracy? Or was there something more behind the public image of war hero, campaign buttons, and emotionally-charged rhetoric? What is revealed is a man even more contradictory than the rumors told about him. Here is a Jackson both savagely honest and politically cunning, a self-made man who always longed to belong, an orphaned boy who grew up with an untamed fury for respect and honor, a man as tough as the Tennessee wilderness from which he came. With sharply drawn vignettes of such notable figures as John Quincy Adams, Aaron Burr, Thomas Jefferson, Sam Houston, and others, "Jackson" is an unforgettable portrait of an America in transition and a man as dangerous as democracy itself. |

Andrew Jackson and the Bank War: A Study in the Growth of Presidential Power $18.7 During the changing economic and social conditions of the 1820's and 1830's there was much hostility between the Bank on the one hand, and rising capitalists, urban workers, and farmers on the other. In this context, Jackson aimed to do away with the Bank. The Bank's supporters, however, struck back. In a move intended to wrench political support from Jackson, Henry Clay forced a bill through the Senate to recharter the Bank. Jackson vetoed the bill, beginning the long struggle which has become known as "The Bank War." Jackson defeated Clay in the presidential election of 1832 despite Clay's efforts. Taking his political victory as a mandate from the people to destroy the Bank, he withdrew federal deposits, thereby setting the stage for the Bank's eventual death in 1836. In this book, Robert V. Remini begins by discussing the antagonists in the Bank War: Jackson and Biddle. He states that "the destruction of the Bank occurred because it got caught between these] two willful, proud, and stubborn men..." He then goes on to details of the struggle, "emphasizing the ways in which the War transformed the presidential office: how Jackson capitalized on the struggle to strengthen the executive branch of the government and infuse it with much of the power it enjoys today." |

Presidential Courage $13.99 From the acclaimed bestselling author of The Conquerors Michael Beschloss has brought us a brilliantly readable and inspiring saga about crucial times in America's history when a courageous President dramatically changed the future of the United States. With surprising new sources and a dazzling command of history and human character, Beschloss brings to life these flawed, complex men -- and their wives, families, friends and foes. Never have we had a more intimate, behind-the-scenes view of Presidents coping with the supreme dilemmas of their lives. You will be in the room with the private George Washington, braving threats of impeachment and assassination to make peace with England. John Adams, incurring his party's "unrelenting hatred" by refusing to fight France and warning his enemies, "Great is the guilt of an unnecessary war." Andrew Jackson, in a death struggle against the corrupt Bank of the United States. Abraham Lincoln, risking his Presidency to insist that slaves be freed. Beschloss also shows us Theodore Roosevelt, taunting J. P. Morgan and the Wall Street leaders who dominated his party. Franklin Roosevelt, defying the isolationists -- and maybe the law -- to stop Adolf Hitler. Harry Truman, risking a walkout by top officials to recognize a Jewish state. John Kennedy, the belated champion of civil rights, complaining that he has cost himself a second term. And finally, two hundred years after Washington, Ronald Reagan, irking some of his oldest backers to seek an end to the Cold War. As Beschloss shows in this gripping and important book, none of these Presidents was eager to incur ridicule, vilification or threats of political destruction and even assassination. But in the end, bolstered by friends and family, hidden private beliefs and, sometimes, religious faith, each ultimately proved himself to be, in Andrew Jackson's words, "born for the storm." |

The Social and Political Implications of the 1984 Jesse Jackson Presidential Campaign $146.94 Part of the Praeger Series in Political Economy, this volume assembles prominent political scientists, sociologists, economists, historians, anthropologists, theologians, and journalists to examine the intricacies of the ground-breaking 1984 campaign for president by Jesse Jackson. As no other studies have done, this book explores the social and cultural context of the evolving political process in which the campaign took shape. The contributors study the campaign in a broad social and cultural context that helps to explain the campaign's strengths and weaknesses. The book's interdisciplinary approach reveals the economic, sociological, and political ramifications of the first serious run for the presidency by an African-American. Students and scholars of political science, sociology, anthropology, and communications, as well as professionals in the fields of journalism, public relations, and campaign consulting, will find this book enlightening reading. The volume explores a broad range of issues in terms of how they relate to Jackson's historical run for president, including: racial equity questions; educational and economic opportunity for minorities; family stability in minority communities; community development; and Third World politics. The contributors come to a number of conclusions about the future of politics for minority candidates. Some suggest that future campaigns by Jackson, or any minority candidate, will run into more difficulty inside the political parties than did Jackson's. Others suggest that the 1984 campaign represents a radicalization of the black and progressive American voter. The future, according to this provocative book, holds difficulty for both theDemocratic and Republican parties as their candidates, whatever race or religion, bridge the ideological gaps dividing the voters. |

Andrew Jackson $23.71 Historian H.W. Brands narrates the colorful life of "Old Hickory," who left an enduring mark as the seventh president of the United States, and whose name is forever associated with the concept of democracy. Cut from a different cloth than the Founding Fathers, the rough-and-tumble Jackson was just a boy during the Revolution, though he absorbed its influences. His parents had migrated to South Carolina, and he himself is associated with the state of Tennessee, where he was a legislator, and later a general who fought in the War of 1812 and in the Indian wars. Brands recounts the key points of Jackson`s life and career, especially his two-term presidency, where he wielded presidential power decisively and effectively, becoming identified above all with a strong union that protected the rights of the common people. |

United States Presidential Election, 1832 $78.07 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The United States presidential election of 1832 saw incumbent President Andrew Jackson, candidate of the Democratic Party, easily win reelection against Henry Clay of Kentucky. Jackson won 219 of the 286 electoral votes cast, defeating Clay, the candidate of the National Republican party, and AntiMasonic Party candidate William Wirt. John Floyd, who was not a candidate, received the electoral votes of South Carolina. This was the first national election for Martin Van Buren of New York, who was put on the ticket to succeed John Caldwell Calhoun and four years later would succeed Jackson as President. Van Buren faced opposition for the Vice Presidency within his own party, however, and as a result all 30 Pennsylvania electors cast ballots for native son William Wilkins.

Presidential Courage (Paperback) $29.57 In this admiring tour through several epochs in American history, Michael Beschloss presents examples of presidents who acted boldly--and often without precedent--in the face of severe opposition. Historian Beschloss tells how presidents such as Washington, Jackson, FDR, Truman, Kennedy, and Reagan, among others, stood fast by their principles, and were sustained, sometimes, by only family, faith, and friends. The crises they faced were all different, and Beschloss makes each one come alive, yet all these exemplary figures, in his view, made history. |

Papers of a Jackson Vol 6 $33.44 This sixth volume of The Papers of Andrew Jackson documents the election of Andrew Jackson, the first westerner and the last veteran of the American Revolution, to the presidency. The four years of this volume chronicle the presidential campaign of 1828. Jackson, winner of the popular vote in 1824 but loser of the election, was once again the reluctant candidate, called into service by the voice of the voters. The campaign, one of the longest in American history, pitted Jackson against the incumbent John Quincy Adams; it was also one of the dirtiest campaigns in American history. The brunt of the mudslinging was aimed at Jackson, and it is covered in detail in this volume. Every aspect of the public and private life of the fifty-eight-year-old former major general in the United States Army came under scrutiny, and in both his opponents found him deficient. According to his detractors, he lacked the moral principles, the temperament, the education, and the family background requisite for a president of the United States. In sum, Jackson resembled the "devil incarnate, " to use his own words. The mudslinging left Jackson livid, anxious for retribution but constrained by the cause in which he was engaged. The presidential campaign of 1828, in the minds of Jackson and his supporters, was for the cause of truth and democracy against corrupt, self-seeking politicians, an aristocracy of power built upon bargains and dubious political alliances dedicated to its perpetuation in office. The four years covered in this volume were some of the most trying in Jackson's life, but the one event that hurt Jackson most was the death of his wife. Until his dying day, Jackson contended that her deathhad been hastened by the slanders of his opponents in the campaign. As great as the loss was for him personally, Jackson nonetheless rejoiced in the results of the election for, in his eyes, the voice of the people had finally been heard. Liberty, not power, had triumphed. Reform was at hand, and retribution would surely follow. |

The Policy Partnership: Presidential Elections and American Democracy $3.95 The presidency was neither designed nor expected to act in concert with the American people; the Framers intended Congress to represent the popular will. Thanks in part to public outrage at Congressional abuses of power, Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson led mass movements that forced major changes in the presidency, electoral politics, and national policy. Contemporary presidents are elected on the promise of being the direct representative of the people. There is an implicit deal between the president and voters: election to office in return for responsiveness to voter concerns. As "The Policy Partnership" shows, this relationship has been crumbling for some time. Presidents frequently break campaign promises and make unpopular decisions, while the public rarely bands together to demand attention to policy concerns. Many people simply do not vote; political elites take advantage of this indifference to advance their own agendas. Bruce Buchanan explores the presidential elections of the last half-century to answer pressing questions created by this situation: What has become of the policy relationship potential created by presidential elections? To what degree do candidates and presidents take voter policy concerns into account before and after elections? How much influence do voters really have on presidential policy? What can be done to increase voter participation and presidential responsiveness? The central question of democratic politics comes down to the relationship between popular electoral choices and public policy: if voters can't influence what government does, then what is the point of democracy? |

The Life of Andrew Jackson (P.S.) $5.99 Robert V. Remini's prize-winning, three-volume biography Life of Andrew Jackson won the National Book Award on its completion in 1984 and is recognized as one of the greatest lives of a U.S. President. In this meticulously crafted single-volume abridgment, Remini captures the essence of the life and career of the seventh president of the United States. As president, from 1829-1837, Jackson was a significant force in the nations's expansion, the growth of presidential power, and the transition from republicanism to democracy. Jackson is a highly controversial figure who is undergoing historical reconsideration today. He is known as spurring the emergence of the modern American political division of Republican and Democratic parties, for the infamous Indian removal on the Trail of Tears, and for his brave victory against the British as Major General at the Battle of New Orleans. Never an apologist, Remini portrays Jackson as a forceful, sometimes tragic, hero - a man whose strength and flaws were larger than life, a president whose conviction provided the nation with one of the most influential, colorful, and controversial administrations in our history. |

Andrew Jackson and His Indian Wars $3.95 The removal of Native Americans to the Indian Territory beyond the Mississippi River remains one of the most controversial events in U.S. history, and the man most responsible and widely blamed for this policy is Andrew Jackson. Hailed by The New York Times as "the foremost Jacksonian scholar of our time", Robert Remini now turns his attention to the single most controversial aspect of Jackson's long career. The first history to trace Jackson's involvement in decades of Indian conflicts, this book takes us through Jackson's entire life, from his early years as an Indian fighter in South Carolina and Tennessee to his victory in the Creek War in 1814, to his presidential years, when he set into motion the legislation that led to the Indian Removal Act, and, eventually, the Trail of Tears. Throughout, Remini demonstrates a masterful command of his subject and offers a thought-provoking and controversial defense of Jackson's strategy of removing the Indians. This book is sure to stimulate heated discussion among scholars and general readers alike. An exuberant history in the great storytelling tradition, Andrew Jackson and His Indian Wars is also a sobering reminder of the violence and darkness at the heart of America's past. |

The Reasoning Voter: Communication and Persuasion in Presidential Campaigns $28.72 "The Reasoning Voter" is an insider's look at campaigns, candidates, media, and voters that convincingly argues that voters make informed logical choices. Samuel L. Popkin analyzes three primary campaigns--Carter in 1976; Bush and Reagan in 1980; and Hart, Mondale, and Jackson in 1984--to arrive at a new model of the way voters sort through commercials and sound bites to choose a candidate. Drawing on insights from economics and cognitive psychology, he convincingly demonstrates that, as trivial as campaigns often appear, they provide voters with a surprising amount of information on a candidate's views and skills. For all their shortcomings, campaigns "do" matter. "If you're preparing to run a presidential campaign, and only have time to read one book, make sure to read Sam Popkin's "The Reasoning Voter." If you have time to read two books, read "The Reasoning Voter" twice."--James Carville, Senior Stategist, Clinton/Gore '92 "A fresh and subtle analysis of voter behavior."--Thomas Byrne Edsall, "New York Review of Books" "Professor Popkin has brought V.O. Key's contention that voters are rational into the media age. This book is a useful rebuttal to the cynical view that politics is a wholly contrived business, in which unscrupulous operatives manipulate the emotions of distrustful but gullible citizens. The reality, he shows, is both more complex and more hopeful than that."--David S. Broder, "The Washington Post" |
