Original Note:
The presidential pardon is a tool that exists within the frame of US legislation.

Congress would need to address potential abuses. https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artII-S2-C1-3-1/ALDE_00013316/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_pardons_in_the_United_States https://protectdemocracy.org/work/the-presidential-pardon-power-explained/ https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/presidential-pardon-power-explained
