The power to grant pardons does not appear to be exclusive, but I think it would set a bad precedent. Can one imagine Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Hillary or Maxine Waters using such power?

Hell, they’re busy conducting a coup d’état anyway. Doubt they’d have time to make a proposal urging the president to pardon anyone.

We may have a preview in how Bill Clinton handled his own pardons.

The President would have to sign it anyway before it became official.
