I don't want Trump wasting his time on that. There's more important stuff he should focus on.

Why should he do that? They broke the law. - Well yeah they did break the law, but that shouldn't be illegal.

Illegal immigrants are called illegal because they're breaking the law. - Well yeah they did break the law, but that shouldn't be illegal.

Picking and choosing what laws should and shouldn't be enforced is something Democrats do. Trump isn't a Democrat.

The difference is whether a law is constitutionally sound. If it's a law that restricts a citizens constitutional rights then it shouldn't be enforced.

But if it's a law that effects a non-citizen's rights? I dont give half a shit as long as we aren't needlessly killing them in their own countries (not making blanket statements about our armed forces but if Obama was involved in the war it was probably poorly planned)

I agree on principle with what you're saying, however: An illegal is a non-citizen violating federal law. A citizen being jailed for exercising the rights guaranteed them by the US Constitution... not exactly the same thing. In fact, there's a Supremacy clause that I think should cover this, and Trump, if he were to have some input on it.

He needs an open pardon for all gun stuff that is within literal second ammendment.

It would be a good way for Trump to give liberals all the ammo they need to show he has no idea what the limits are to the powers of the President. You must be a libtard.

Because u/Vic_V and u/Mghorning think they are so smart that whatever they spout off the top of their head must be correct...

Does the President have authority to grant clemency for a state conviction?

"No. The President’s clemency power is conferred by Article II, Section 2, Clause 1 of the Constitution of the United States, which provides: “The President . . . shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.” Thus, the President’s authority to grant clemency is limited to federal offenses and offenses prosecuted by the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia in the name of the United States in the D.C. Superior Court. An offense that violates a state law is not an offense against the United States. A person who wishes to seek a pardon or a commutation of sentence for a state offense should contact the authorities of the state in which the conviction occurred. Such state authorities are typically the Governor or a state board of pardons and/or paroles, if the state government has created such a board."
