Forgiveness and Pardon, though used synonymously, are not the same. Forgiveness is a personal decision to let go of the anger and resentment one feels towards another for the hurt or harm caused. A pardon is a formal act of forgiveness granted by an authority figure.

It is the cornerstone of natural justice and applies not only to judges, but also to quasi-judicial authorities like the US President, who is empowered to grant pardon to those found guilty by the American courts of law. Perhaps the time has come to introduce checks and balances into the pardoning powers of the US President to prevent conflict of interests.
