    According to Article V Section 2 Paragraph 1 of the NJ Constitution:

    The Governor may grant pardons and reprieves in all cases other than impeachment and treason, and may suspend and remit fines and forfeitures.

    A Writ of Execution would likely and may have been ruled by the NJ Supreme Court a type of forfeiture.
