Biden commutes sentences of 37 of 40 inmates on federal death row

Clemency decisions cannot be reversed by Trump, and decision does not apply to cases of terrorism or mass murder

U.S. President Joe Biden on Monday commuted the sentences for 37 out of 40 federal inmates on death row, converting them to life in prison without parole before he hands over power to President-elect Donald Trump on Jan. 20.

Biden's move will frustrate Trump's plan to resume a rapid pace of executions. Unlike executive orders, clemency decisions cannot be reversed by a president's successor, although the death penalty can be sought more aggressively in future cases.

Trump restarted federal executions after a nearly 20-year pause during his first term in office from 2017 to 2021.

What if the president who ordered these clemency cases is senile? Does that make a difference? Biden has just signed his own death warrant, God already knew he’d do this. He has said he is being judge

Can Congress override this shameful order by President Biden?

Big laugh. So Trump doesn't have to off these creeps and Biden and the so called " Democrats" get the wrath of the folks. Senile or just stupid.

What?? Trying to clean up your befouled “legacy”?? Be sure to leave your address for these murderers. They may feel the desire to thank you…

Shameful- absolutely shameful. We’re talking about mass murderers in the case of those attacks cited
