Absolutely not!!
I think the real shame of the Pardon system is in the Mechanism of it. What they really need to do is take some cues from Japanese and Korean Game Shows!
I believe that the President of the United States should be allowed to Pardon anyone they want, but...they have to earn it first!
Obstacle Courses. Feats of Strength. Mental Challenges. Competitive Hamburger Eating. We can do better!
All televised! You want to Pardon someone, you gotta earn it!
"Okay Joe....if you want to Pardon Hunter, you have to climb the steps in Philadelphia to the Rocky statue without falling in this allotted time period...no helmets! Now....GO!!!"
I mean, if you want to turn the whole thing into a side-show...don't half-ass it!!
