Everyday I'm reminded of the two lost decades (Bush II and Obama) and the "ineptness" (wrong word, but best I can think of now) of the Biden administration. The latter's major success: keeping his family out of prison. His legacy: setting the bar for the number of acts of clemecy and the timing of such acts of clemency.
During his four-year presidency, Joe Biden issued 80 pardons and 4,165 commutations, totaling 4,245 acts of clemency . While the number of pardons is relatively low—only George H.W. Bush granted fewer—the volume of commutations is unprecedented, surpassing all previous presidents.
