President Joe Biden vowed not to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, following his recent conviction in a felony gun trial, but the president still technically maintains another clemency avenue to help his only surviving son avoid jail time.

Since 2021, Joe Biden has utilized his presidential clemency powers 154 times, split into 24 pardons and 130 commutations. While a pardon would wipe away all or some consequences of a felony conviction, a commutation results in a reduced sentence.
