Bill overview
This bill, the SIGN Pardons Act, aims to increase transparency and accountability in the presidential pardon process. Currently, pardons can be issued through various methods, but this legislation mandates that the President must personally sign any pardon or reprieve. This requirement is based on the constitutional authority of the President to grant pardons. The bill seeks to ensure a clearer record of presidential actions regarding clemency.
