Could the president issue a blanket pardon to all violators of a certain law and thus nullify the law?
Presidents are allowed to pardon whomever they decide. Pardons given to all violators of a certain law is called amnesty. Though the president can forgive violators and nullify the punishment for violating a law, they cannot repeal the law; future violators will be punished as they are not under the act of amnesty.
One example of this is Lincoln's amnesty to Union deserters and Rebel forces. Though participants in the rebellion were pardoned, it is still "illegal" to secede from the United States and to desert your military post.
