It's pretty clear what the Democrats are trying to do here.

Note that:

  1. The Constitution grants immunity (except for Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace) to all members of Congress (Article I Section 6) for all acts occurring while in Congress, and traveling to and from Congress.

    Only Congress can remove a fellow member of Congress from their office.

  2. The Constitution grants de facto immunity to the Supreme Court and all inferior courts (shall hold their Offices during good Behavior) unless impeached and convicted by Congress.

    Once, Congress tried to eliminate an inferior court (as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish) but the judges of that court filed suit, claiming that eliminating their court violated the "Compensation which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office" clause. [someone else will have to find the citation for me]

  3. But we are to believe that the President has no such immunity at all? Congress can impeach and convict the President; the Supreme Court can refuse to hear the appeals of the President? The President stands alone unprotected by the Constitution?
So, everyone in federal government has immunity except for President Trump?

Presidential Immunity does not protect against TREASON.

O’Biden is guilty of Treason by taking bribes in return for aiding foreign powers to destroy the USA and our economic system.

The End.
