Is that for just the death penalty, or is it for all convictions? The lists of sentence commutes that Cap posted looks pretty extensive - and some of the crimes are petty (like improper use of food stamps and turning back your odometer). I don't know how it works in the U.S., but would those really be federal crimes?
