    The President's pardoning power cannot be limited by Congress. The framers of the 1987 Constitution strongly adhered to the doctrine that the President's pardoning power cannot be diminished by legislative action. Articles 36 and 41 of the Revised Penal Code cannot restrict or reduce the exclusive authority of the President to pardon those convicted of violating criminal laws.

    PARDONING POWER

    The President’s pardoning power cannot be limited by Congress: The pardoning power
    of the President cannot be limited by legislative action. This doctrine of non-diminution or non-
    impairment of the President’s power of pardon by acts of Congress was strongly adhered to by
    the framers of the 1987 Constitution. Articles 36 and 41 of the Revised Penal Code cannot
    abridge or diminish the exclusive power and prerogative of the President to pardon persons
    convicted of violating penal statutes. (Risos-Vidal v. Commission on Elections, G.R. No.
