When the President pardons someone, does the person's name or other identification have to be specified? IOW, can Trump pardon all the rioters en masse, or must he pardon each one by name and specification of the crime committed?
Further, when he pardons Jarvanka, does he have to specify the crime(s) he is pardoning them for?
