Presidents and governors should NOT have the power to pardon people. And if they do it should be ONE pardon per term.

>>UltraS+Cf
The authority to pardon is one of the most direct indicators we have for the moral character of an executive.

So?

So I'd prefer to give a good person the power to do good things by pardoning those worthy of liberty, and a bad person the power to make their corruption evident for the world to see.

I see absolutely no reason to have the risk of terrible pardons like we have seen over and over in the US. Clinton pardoned Mark Rich while he was still wanted by the DOJ because he donated a lot. Trump just pardoned everyone convicted in the Jan 6 insurrection.
