I don't understand who set that rule... it says the governor cannot unilaterally issue pardons, but I thought the pardon power was fairly broad and unilateral?

And also, I thought this was interesting, too:

>But, Goldstein added, that narrowness in scope is the nature of executive pardons, whether they are gubernatorial or presidential. President Joe Biden’s marijuana pardon proclamation from October, for example, is similarly narrow, and only clears the records of people who were convicted of simple possession of marijuana under federal law from 1992 through 2021. That move affected about 6,500 people...
