I think that the absolute power of the pardon for the President is definitely a problem. We've already established that a President (Clinton) can basically sell a pardon (Marc Rich). Now we're seeing a President pardon a family member for felony gun charges. A President pardoning himself is probably not far away.
Moreover, Biden (or any occupant of the office) could, in a fit of pique, empty the entire Federal prison system on the way out of office, and there would be absolutely nothing anyone could do about it. That's insane.
