Bill > HR2248

This bill, known as the "Signature Integrity for Granting National Pardons Act" or "SIGN Pardons Act," requires the President of the United States to personally sign any pardon or reprieve issued under the constitutional authority granted in Article II, Section 2, Clause 1. The legislation aims to ensure direct presidential involvement in the pardon process by mandating that the President must physically sign each pardon or reprieve document, rather than delegating the signature to staff or using other methods of authorization. This provision applies to all pardons and reprieves granted by the President, which are executive actions that can forgive or reduce criminal penalties or legal consequences for an individual. By requiring personal presidential signature, the bill seeks to increase accountability and emphasize the President's direct responsibility in exercising this significant constitutional power.
