Letter to the editor: President has power to pardon

Here we go again — the president is abusing his power. Yeah, but why is it always the president named Donald Trump that is continuously accused of abusing his power?

Now before people start screeching “impeach Trump” again, go to Wikipedia and look up “list of people pardoned or granted clemency by the president of the United States.”

Trump has pardoned 25 and granted 10 commutations since being in office. The total presidential pardons and commutations in the 20th century is approximately 20,000, according to Wikipedia.

Also, from Article II of the U.S. Constitution: “The president shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.”

He can do nothing right in the eyes of the ones who simply don’t like or fear him. All of Michael Bloomberg’s and George Soros’ money cannot stop the will of the people that support our president in draining the swamp and keeping America great. We want our children and grandchildren to have a country in which they can live in peace and prosper.

I am amazed that there are still people who do not realize how dangerously close we came to losing this country to the New World Order club. You will find it is not a conspiracy theory if you have done your homework on the subject, but a real conspiracy .
