Congress has a jail. He's already refused to answer to a subpoena. They can arrest him any time they want.

Congress has a jail, sure. But I and the comment I was responding to were regarding the judiciary.

To put a finer point on it: if the president orders somebody to do something in violation of federal law, and then pardons them, can the law be enforced?

Congress’s big hammer is impeachment. The smaller hammer is refusing to fund his administration. Between that and elections, that’s plenty of ways to keep the president in check.
