Sam Bankman-Fried Senate resolution against pardon S.Res. 772

Sen. Ruben Gallego's S.Res. 772 cleared by unanimous consent on July 15, a nonbinding opinion carrying no legal force.

S.Res. 772, sponsored by Sen. Ruben Gallego of Arizona, passed with no recorded roll call.
The measure is a nonbinding sense of the Senate, an opinion, not a legal restraint.
Bankman-Fried is serving 25 years for stealing roughly $8 billion in FTX customer funds.

Why it matters: Pardon power belongs to the President alone; a resolution he can freely ignore is opinion, not law.
