Louis Foxwell is correct.

Without a conviction it would be impossible to establish which treason was being pardoned. (Known treason, or undisclosed treason?)

Your view of the constitution is way too simplistic.

Obama wouldn’t even mention treason or specific offences, and wouldn’t need to. He would likely do a blanket pardon as Ford did for Nixon, covering all possible “offences” and covering the dates of Shrillary’s tenure as Secretary of State. I’m not saying he definitely will do it, I have no idea how he views the matter, but precedent exists, of a kind, if Obama wants to do it.
