Bill > HJRes135

This resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to limit the president's pardon power by establishing new congressional oversight mechanisms. Under the proposed amendment, the president would be required to notify the Senate President pro tempore and House Speaker within three days of granting a reprieve or pardon. Congress would then have 30 days to introduce a bill to nullify the pardon, which could be passed by a two-thirds vote in both chambers within 60 days. If no nullification bill passes, the pardon would automatically take effect 90 days after notification. The amendment would also require that any nullification bill signed by at least 20 House Representatives or 5 Senators must receive a vote, and it would invalidate any pardon if the president fails to provide notification within three days. Additionally, the president would be prohibited from re-pardoning an offense that Congress has previously nullified. The amendment would give Congress the power to enforce these provisions through appropriate legislation, fundamentally changing the current constitutional pardon power by introducing a congressional review process.
