What do you think warrants a presidential pardon?

Is this something that should be done more or less?

Is it a case by case thing?

Should be done as little as possible and for exceptional cases. All presidents are given pardoning abilities. Typically they use it sparingly and not for their own benefit or to bribe or to pardon people whom they conspired with to commit crimes.
