Separation rules after presidential pardon

If enacted, this bill would let the military pursue involuntary administrative separation even if a member accepts a presidential pardon or commutation. The Secretary must convene a review board within 30 days to find facts and recommend whether separation is warranted. If the board recommends separation, the Secretary could authorize it and must characterize the separation as the board recommends; for National Guard members, the Secretary could also withdraw federal recognition. The Secretary of a military department would notify the Secretary of Defense within 30 days after the pardon acceptance, the board convening, and the board recommendation. Within 30 days after the board's recommendation, the Secretary of Defense would send Congress a written report with the board's findings and whether the Secretary approved the separation or a justification for not doing so.
