Under Article II, Section 2, Clause 1 of the Constitution the pardon power of presidents is absolute and thus no grounds for impeachment. The only exception is a president can’t pardon a president who has already been removed from office via an impeachment trial.

Since this has never actually happened, I'll just resort to claiming that my Ouija Board is superior to yours (not made in China.)
