The President Has No Power to Review Porter Court Martial
Attorney General Brewster concludes that the President cannot overturn or review a court martial sentence once approved and executed. The opinion notes that final judgments stand, dismissal from service is an accomplished fact, and restoration would require new congressional authority. The President thus cannot grant relief or reinstate Gen Porter through pardon or reversal.
