American Government CLEP Prep Practice Exam

The President is the correct answer because the Constitution grants executive power, which includes the ability to pardon individuals convicted of federal crimes. This power is not held by any other branch of government.

Supreme Court justices are appointed by the President and confirmed by Congress, but they do not have the power to pardon.

Congress has impeachment powers and can overturn a presidential pardon, but they cannot directly grant pardons.

State governors have the power to grant pardons for state crimes but not federal crimes, making them an incorrect answer for this question.
