De facto Commander-in-Chief Ford (25th amendment) issues Proclamation 4313 granting a conditional, case-by-case pardon to deserters from the United states Armed Forces, and evaders of military conscription (involuntary servitude).  The condition is that they must complete a two-year commitment of alternate national service.

       Postscript: Not a single U.s. subject/enemy/citizen took Ford up on his offer.
