The King shall have the right in the Council of State to pardon criminals after sentence
has been passed. The criminal shall have the choice of accepting the King's pardon or
submitting to the penalty imposed.
In proceedings which the Storting causes to be brought before the Court of Impeachment,
no pardon other than deliverance from the death penalty may be granted, unless the Storting
has given its consent thereto.
