    Journal Article

    The President's pardon power is a near-blank check hidden among the Constitution's checks and balances. Despite substantial hand-wringing about possible abuses of the power, scholars have almost entirely overlooked the most potent tool in the President's pardon power arsenal: the ability to attach conditions to clemency grants (the "conditional pardon power"). As a subset of the general pardon power, the conditional pardon power is assumed to be similarly "unfettered," "plenary," or "unlimited." This cannot be correct.
