The Past, Present, and Future of Presidential Pardons

Event Description: How did the Presidential pardon power end up in the U.S. Constitution - and why? Has it, historically, been used excessively - or underutilized? What's it like to be on the (surprise) receiving end of a Presidential pardon? And what does the high-stakes, currently unfolding Supreme Court appeal Sittenfeld v. United States have to do with all this?

Please join for a talk and Q&A with writer and former Cincinnati elected official, P.G. Sittenfeld, who is also a Presidential pardon recipient and current Supreme Court petitioner.
