As has been mentioned, I would grant clemency if the guilt had since been called into question.

I oppose the death penalty, but I would continue to use the system as it was legally designed until I could remove it by legal means.  Universal clemency would be an abuse of my power.

Obviously those against the death penalty will always vote to grant clemency.

Not necessarily.  See my post just a couple up from yours.
