The president holds three judicial powers: the power to nominate federal judges, including Supreme Court justices, with the advice and consent of the Senate; the power to grant pardons and reprieves for federal offenses; and the power to commute sentences or reduce fines imposed by federal courts. These powers are outlined in the U.S. Constitution under Article II, Section 2, known as the "Appointments Clause" and the "Pardon Clause."

LaoOh, isn't that a happy little question. Well, the president has the power to grant pardons, reprieves, and commute sentences. Just like painting a beautiful landscape, these powers are meant to bring balance and harmony to the justice system. Remember, every stroke of power should be used with care and compassion.
The President does not have judicial power, he exercises executive authority. The congress passes laws (Article I), the president executes the law (Article II) and the courts, headed by the Supreme Court interprets the law deciding cases and controversies arising under the law (Article III). Regarding ""judicial power" Article III is quite explicit. It begins: "The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish."
