What is reprieve power of the president?

The reprieve power of the president refers to the authority to grant a temporary delay or suspension of punishment, particularly in criminal cases. This power allows the president to mitigate the severity of a sentence, offering a second chance to individuals facing severe penalties, such as death sentences. Reprieves do not overturn convictions but can provide relief from immediate consequences, often used in cases where new evidence emerges or for humanitarian reasons. This power is part of the broader clemency authority, which also includes pardons and commutations.
