he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

A reprieve can be temporary, in my way of thinking, so it just provides some relief, and that relief can be carefully defined.

Reprieve for an offense sounds different that reprieve from a sentence. You can have offended but still not been sentenced.
