| Private Eddie Slovik |
A useful Lawfare post by
Jack Goldsmith and
Maddie McMahon surveys the materials on the President's pardon power. Among them is a link to
this 1977 Office of Legal Counsel opinion concerning whether a posthumous pardon of executed World War II deserter
Eddie Slovik would affect his widow's ability to collect on his insurance policy. The
Lawfare piece also includes links to a variety of other opinions regarding the application of the pardon power to military cases.
