The presidential power of pardon is exercised at the discretion of the President. Therefore it is technically unlimited. However, only about 10% of petitions for pardons are actually granted.

As much as he wants. The U.S. constitution does not set a limit on pardons granted by a President.

No limit just ask clinton. He pardoned all sorts of criminals so they would be back on the streets.
