An answer to a recent question stated:
In modern, peacetime U.S. practice, the main use of the pardon power has been to restore the civil rights of people who admit to having committed crimes and have served their sentences and reformed, so that they can, for example, apply for a job not available to felons, or vote, or get a hunting license and use a firearm. Only a tiny share of modern pardons are granted to people who are currently serving sentences for the crimes of which they were convicted or to people who have not yet been convicted of crimes.
My understanding is that a pardon only effects that you no longer must bear the consequences of a conviction, it does not remove the conviction. Thus I want to ask for clarification on the part where it states that pardoned individuals "apply for a job not available to felons, or vote, or get a hunting license and use a firearm". I figure the three options are either:
- I am not entirely correct about what a pardon by the President does.
- The prohibitions on felons to applying for jobs not available to felons, voting, get a hunting license and using a firearm are part of the pardon
- The statement is not correct.
What are the actual legal effects of pardons issued by the President of the United States?
