SEAL Team 6 isn’t available for comment because they were wiped out in Extortion 17 after Biden revealed their identity as the Bin Laden raid team. Which is relevant if we’re talking about vice presidents revealing classified information which puts our national security at risk...

My understanding is that when a President uses his power/duties for illegal purposes such as getting rid of his political enemies the process to hold him/her accountable is impeachment. After a President is convicted in impeachment proceedings he/she can then be prosecuted by civil law enforcement. So if official acts are treasonous or felonious it can still be addressed. It just has to be done through officials who are accountable to the voters.

Am I understanding that correctly?

More or less. The Senate decides the verdict and if it is significant enough to remove the person from office. If decided it is, they can also strip away immunity and any pensions.......................

I certainly think so. The only clarification is that 'civil' law enforcement in your comment should probably be 'civilian' law enforcement or something. He can be tried for both civil liability and criminal liability if Congress determines (through impeachment/removal from office) that he was guilty of acts not properly within the duties and authority of the President.
