		</div><p>President Barack Obama has pardoned 78 people and shortened the sentence of 153 others convicted of federal crimes.</p>
<p>It is the most number of individual clemencies in a single day by any president, the White House says..</p>
<p>President Obama has been granting commutations at rapid-fire pace in his final months in office, but he has focused primarily on shortening sentences rather than pardons.</p>
<p>Pardons amount to forgiveness of a crime that removes restrictions on the right to vote and lessens the conviction stigma.</p>
<p>Neil Eggleston, Obama&#8217;s White House counsel, says President Obama has now pardoned a total of 148 people during his presidency and has shortened the sentences of 1,176 people, including 395 serving life sentences.</p>
<p>Mr Eggleston says the clemency actions exemplify the president&#8217;s belief that America is a nation of second chances.</p>
