This joint resolution proposes a Constitutional amendment to significantly limit the President's power to grant pardons and reprieves . The amendment would prohibit the President from pardoning themselves, close relatives, current or former administration members, or paid employees of their presidential campaign. It also restricts pardons for offenses motivated by a direct and significant personal or pecuniary interest of the President or related individuals. Furthermore, pardons would be disallowed for offenses committed at the President's direction or in coordination with them. Crucially, the amendment explicitly states that any pardon issued for a corrupt purpose shall be invalid , with Congress empowered to enforce these new provisions.
