Presidential Pardons

At the end of a Presidency it is tradition to pardon a bunch of people. Since being in office, President Bush, has issued only 171 pardons. He may issue more, he has that right.

Bill Clinton awarded 140 pardons on his last day in office for a total of 396.

President George H. W. Bush. 75 pardons.

Oh the record holder (if it is something you can call a record) Franklin Roosevelt: 3,687

On the other end of the scale William Harrison Zero...
