This check and balance on the judicial branch is an action by the U.S. president that lessens or sets aside the punishment for a federal crime. Article II gives the president almost unlimited power to grant pardons. In effect, the Constitution allows the president to 'undo' the final decision of a federal court. In this way, the executive branch further checks and balances the judicial branch.
The Presidentâs Pardon Power Is Absolute. But so is Congressâs impeachment power. Donald Trump is right, or more precisely, his lawyers are: The presidentâs constitutional power to grant pardons for violations of federal law is absolute. Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution grants the president the unqualified power to âgrant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.â Legally, the president may pardon whomever he wants, whenever he wants, for whatever reason he wants, for any and all violations of federal law. (He has no power to grant pardons for state-law violations.) He may pardon crooks, cronies, and co-conspirators in his own corruption. And, though it goes against every principle of natural justice and the traditions of the law, he may even pardon himself.
