President Nixon could have been convicted.

Presidents don’t have more immunity than their subordinates such as Eric Holder or Merrick Garland.

Presidents do enjoy a rebuttable presumption that their actions were legal.

If I was in charge of a gambling website trying to calculate the probability of the success of Trump's immunity appeal, that statement doesn't help me.

This isnt hard. Presidents DON'T have immunity, they have immunity from being prosecuted like me and you. They can still be impeached, removed from office, and then put in prison. They can be impeached even AFTER they leave office. That is the way you go about it.

the simple fact is this either presidents have immunity or they will all simply pardon themselves before leaving office of any and all crimes, with the result being the same.
