Interesting link. Thank you.
Of anything I’d change in the Constitution, the ability of Presidents to pardon or otherwise grant clemency would be the first, if not only.

You would take that out of the constitutional powers given to the President? Well it is the ultimate check on an out of control judiciary.....so part of the checks and balances the founders built into our governmental structure.
The problem IMHO is not this Presidential privilege but in the character of the person in the Presidency.
