The pardon and its exercise are yet another reason to be sure that the person you're sending in to the job will exercise the power responsibly.
I agree that there should be no check on the power to pardon. There can't be because Congress does have the power to convict in some rare cases. The check is on the legislative as well as on the judicial branch.
