You could use the same argument at the state level (for governors), and sitting governors have been charged with state-level crimes (including the governor of Missouri just last year). The concept of pardon was never intended to be used on the person issuing it. Precedent would certainly not be on the president's side.

Wraith, the case of impeachment mentioned in that clause refers to impeachment of other officials.
