Summary
This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to limit the President's pardon power by requiring notification to Congress within 3 days and allowing Congress to nullify a pardon or reprieve by two-thirds vote in both chambers within 60 days. If Congress does not pass a nullification bill within the 60-day window, the pardon becomes effective 90 days after notification. The amendment also prohibits the President from re-pardoning an offense that Congress has previously nullified and voids any pardon for which the President fails to provide timely notification.
