Under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of Presidential power entitles a former President to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority. And he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts. There is no immunity for unofficial acts.

Testimony or private records of the President or his advisers probing such conduct may not be admitted as evidence at trial.

Biden could drone strike the Supreme Court if he wanted to. Unfortunately, he is not Cool.

He just needs to beat him in a debate then Trump will shrink away and turn to stone like a troll at sunrise.

Liberals telling me the president can't just do anything he wants because that would be like trump and the scotus is just like "yeah he literally can't do crimes so go hog wild".

it's just an excuse to not have to exercise power. the only acceptable exercises of power are bombing brown kids and stomping the left.

So this means that Biden can arrest the scotus "justices" and have them executed right

or any us citizen for any reason

on the other side this is what the constitution means by "high crimes" for impeachment. those arent like sexual violence or murder or whatever. high crimes are abuses of power. i think under this interpretation they are saying the president can basically do whatever and its up to congress to hold them accountable.

in reality we know how this will work
