lsh, from what you stated my statement is still true. In the case of Andrew Johnson as you reported it there was not the appearance of bucks or votes for pardon. It was bucks for pardon. tom watson tosiwmee

<<Not quite. At the end of Andrew Johnson's term his family set up a desk in front of the White House and sold pardon application's for $50 each. For another $50 to Johnson he would grant the pardon.>> Pretty much the same if you adjust for inflation. <g>
