Which is an example of the presidential power that has no clear limitation

In the United States constitution, granting pardons is an example of a presidential power that has no clear limitation.

FURTHER EXPLANATION

One of the least powers granted to the president by the constitution is the power to pardon. Though the constitution makes some limitation to the powers and the only limitations is that powers are limited to offences against the country. The constitution addressed it further that the power given to the president to pardon cannot in any way affect an impeachment process.  

The power of a president to pardon does not affect the legal guilt of a person instead it only remove the legal effect of a conviction.  

A person may be pardoned after committing an offence and pardon can also be granted after a complete sentence is served. Nevertheless, the president cannot issue a pardon when an offense has not been committed.  

The power given to the president of the United States to pardon was obtained from the royal English prerogative of kings after the attack by Normans. During this era, the king granted pardon in return for military service or money, though the parliament tried to strip the king of this power, but it was not successful until 1701 when it passed the settlement ACT. The Settlement ACT removed the royal power to pardon in the case of impeachment.
