Not aware of any Constitutional wording or Federal Case Law which says the President can “forgive” a civil award. The pardon power, AFAIK applies to all criminal penalties, and criminal penalties only.

I'm not aware of any Constitutional language for much of what Obama does today.

If anybody is an expert at justifying pardons, it's Eric Holder.
