No limitation on who he can pardon.
That's up to the Supreme Court
No. It's not.
The text is the text.
Basic statutory construction.
There are limitations to the pardon power:
Only for offenses against the United States
Not for impeachment.
The absence of any other limitations means it is unlimited. Period.
The Supreme Court considers the President's pardon power to be "unlimited" beyond those limitations.

There is no president from the Supreme Court saying whether or not the president can pardon himself. I understand your proposed interpretation and I've seen others make it, and I've seen other proposed interpretations that disagree, but it's all guessing until we have a precedent. There's nothing controversial with what I'm saying either and I'm not weighing which side of the fence I think they'll come down on or which one I think is right. I'm just making a statement of reality about reality
