The Executive branch of government is the only branch that can grant pardons and reprieves, under Article 2, of the United States Constitution. Only the President has the ability to grant pardons and reprieves in the Executive branch.

A governor can grant a reprieve in cases brought under the state laws. If the crime is a Federal crime, the governor does not have that ability, only the President can do so.
