Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to limit the pardon power of the President.

Limits on Presidential Pardons

This bill would limit the President's pardon power and add fast congressional review. The President would have to notify the Senate President pro tempore and the House Speaker within 3 days of any reprieve or pardon. After that notice, Congress could introduce a bill to nullify the reprieve or pardon within 30 days. Congress could pass a nullification bill by a two‑thirds vote in both Houses within 60 days. If Congress did not nullify, the pardon would become effective 90 days after the notice. A nullification bill signed by 20 Representatives or 5 Senators would have to be voted on. If the President failed to notify within 3 days, the reprieve or pardon would have no force. The President could not pardon an offense that Congress already nullified. If ratified, Congress could enforce these rules by law.
