If you recieve a pardon from the president.............

[WVreaper]

That means that you have committed a federal crime, or you would not have needed a pardon in the first place. Once you receive a pardon. can you still run for a federal office, like president?

1. Not necessarily. Some people have been pardoned because they were believed to be innocent.

In rare cases pardons are used to exonerate people. This was Trump’s rationale for posthumously pardoning boxer Jack Johnson, the victim of a racially based railroading in 1913. Ford pardoned Iva Toguri d’Aquino (World War II’s “Tokyo Rose”) after “60 Minutes” revealed that she was an innocent victim of prosecutors who suborned perjured testimony in her treason case. President George H.W. Bush pardoned Caspar Weinberger because he thought the former defense secretary, indicted in the Iran-contra affair, was a victim of “the criminalization of policy differences.” If the president pardons you because he thinks you are innocent, what guilt could accepting that pardon possibly admit?
