Original Note:
The post claims the President and/or Vice President could issue a pardon, but they do not have the power to do so since this is a state crime and Presidential pardon powers extend only to federal crimes (convictions in the federal court system, not states). https://www.justice.gov/pardon/apply-pardon#:~:text=The%20President%20can%20grant%20a,the%20consequences%20of%20a%20conviction.
