The titles assertion is incorrect. There are no restrictions on the presidential pardon.

“The titles assertion is incorrect. There are no restrictions on the presidential pardon.”

Wrong. According to the Constitution, (see below)

“Under the Constitution, only federal criminal convictions, such as those adjudicated in the United States District Courts, may be pardoned by the President.”

So, neither state nor civil lawsuits/prosecutions may be pardoned by the president.
