Thanks; today I learned the US President can pardon a non-US-citizen. Your post made me go look it up. I would never have thought...

The President can pardon all crimes against the United States- the citizenship of the perpetrator doesn't come into it.

Only federal crimes though, so if a state picked up any charges against him the president can't do much about it.

US States can't request extradition though because they can't maintain diplomatic relations internationally.
