Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution states: “The President…shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.” That is, the only limit of the presidential pardon power is that he cannot pardon himself (or his Vice President).
