Wow your statement is asinine.
That only applies to Trump and a very narrow category of actions.
What part of ordering a coup part of his official duties?
Let me put it in your hand, Ash.
The Supreme Court ruled that former presidents have broad immunity from prosecution for their “official acts” while in office. This decision, in the case of Trump v. United States, grants former presidents absolute immunity for actions within their “core constitutional powers”. The court’s 6-3 decision, with the conservative justices in the majority and the liberal justices dissenting, effectively narrowed the case against Donald Trump and sent it back to the lower courts to determine which of his actions were “official” and therefore potentially immune.
Key Points of the Ruling:
Official Acts Immunity:
The court recognized that presidents have broad immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts taken while in office.
Core Powers:
The ruling specifically identifies certain “core constitutional powers” of the president, such as commanding the armed forces and conducting foreign relations, as deserving of absolute immunity.
Presumptive Immunity:
For other official acts, the court granted presumptive immunity, meaning the government must rebut this presumption to pursue prosecution.
No Immunity for Unofficial Acts:
The court made it clear that there is no immunity for actions that are not official presidential acts.
If Obama has immunity then he can’t take the 5th right? Because he can’t incriminate himself
And if the big fish has immunity, there’s no reason to give it to any of the little fish.
