Amnesty
The amnesty power of the president refers to the authority granted by the U.S. Constitution to grant pardons or reprieves for federal offenses. This power allows the president to forgive individuals for crimes, effectively eliminating any legal consequences associated with those offenses. Amnesty can be used to address specific groups or issues, often in the context of social justice or political reconciliation. However, it does not apply to state offenses, which are under the jurisdiction of state governors.
According to current laws (and this should be in the Constitution as well), the Executive Branch, specifically the President of the United States, is allowed the 'power of pardon' (the ability to grant pardons).

The power to grant pardons, reprieves, and amnesty is typically vested in the executive branch of government, particularly in the presidency or a similar high office. In the United States, for example, the President has the constitutional authority to grant pardons and reprieves for federal offenses, as outlined in Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution. Amnesty, which often involves a broader legal forgiveness for specific groups, can also be enacted by the executive, sometimes with legislative approval. These powers serve to provide mercy, correct injustices, or promote social reconciliation.
