After multiple comments, I looked it up and yeah, its true. President can&#x27;t pardon state level crimes. Although in my original reading of the constitution (the exact section you posted), I don&#x27;t see why that is true.<p>&gt;he shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.<p>Is there some case law that has determined &quot;offenses against the United States&quot; == Federal crime only?
