The Supreme Court has ruled on Presidential Immunity you can read the full ruling at that link. Here is a short summation from page 1 of the ruling.
Held: 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.
SOTOMAYOR, J., dissenting
Looking beyond the fate of this particular prosecution, the long-term consequences of today’s decision are stark.
The Court effectively creates a law-free zone around the President, upsetting the status quo that has existed since the Founding. This new official-acts immunity now “lies about like a loaded weapon” for any President that wishes to place his own interests, his own political survival, or his own financial gain, above the interests of the Nation. Korematsu v. United States, 323 U. S. 214, 246 (1944) (Jackson, J., dissenting). The President of the United States is the most powerful person in the country, and possibly the
world. When he uses his official powers in any way, under the majority’s reasoning, he now will be insulated from criminal prosecution. Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune.
Let the President violate the law, let him exploit the trappings of his office for personal gain, let him use his official power for evil ends. Because if he knew that he may one day face liability for breaking the law, he might not be as bold and fearless as we would like him to be. That is the majority’s message today.
Even if these nightmare scenarios never play out, and I pray they never do, the damage has been done. The relationship between the President and the people he serves has shifted irrevocably. In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law.
Now Reality
No President has Immunity for anything. Every President can be held accountable for their actions, they always have. It’s called the Impeachment Clause. It is the prosecutorial power given to The Legislative Branch of our Government to constrain and remove the Executive Branch.
The President is the Executive Branch. The Executive Branch can not be criminally or civilly held liable for anything it does as President until the Combined Legislator the House and Senate Impeaches and Convicts the Executive of the crimes first, Period. Congress is the Check on Executive Power, the Checks and Balance of the three Equal Branches are the only Constitutional check on each of the 3 branches of Governments power, Nothing else. That is how our Constitution set’s up the structure of the American system.
If the Congress does not Impeach and Convict a President any and every action the President does or did as President can not be prosecuted by anyone else. No State, No city, No County Prosecuting Attorney of any kind has the Legal Standing to Prosecute the Executive. Those not in the 3 Branches of Government have only the powers to redress grievance with the Federal Government with all 3 of the Branches as spelled out in the Constitution.
In her Dissent Sotomayor spouts nonsense, “if the President sent Seal Team 6 to kill his political opponent he’d be immune.” I find it hard to believe that the the Congress would NOT impeach and convict the Executive of her fantasy scenarios. After they would do so the courts could then indict, prosecute, convict and sentence the Executive on what Congress Convicted him of. So unless you believe the entire Congress would allow any President to do her list of hysterical fears her dissent is nothing but liberal histrionics.
The person this ruling truly protects is President Biden. In one of the attacks on President Trump over the claim that he was responsible for the riot on J6, the courts ruled that the family of the Capital Hill Police officer who died of a stroke days after the riot could sue the Executive civilly in the attempt to be compensated for his death. This ruling negates that possibility, also ending the hundreds of cases that are being prepped right now to sue President Biden for the death, maiming, and destruction caused by the millions of illegals he has allowed into the country. Without this ruling President Biden could be sued for any damage caused by the Illegal Hoard that his Executive Orders have allowed into our nation.
The following clip is 4 min, 44 sec, of our current mentally deficient Executive responding to the Supreme Courts Re-Affirmation of how the Constitution says the Executive can only be held accountable.
Please Watch.
In the above clip President Biden repeated his slew of lies. Starting by having the nerve to state the “Character” of the Executive. The man who has engaged in using the Courts, The IRS, and the Justice Department to illegally attack his political opponent. He then repeats the same dismissal of the Constitution System to prosecute an Executive, saying this ruling makes the Executive a King with nothing that can constrain him. He then proceeds to attack the Supreme Court for a multitude of decisions trying to delegitimize the Supreme Court wholesale, pivoting then into his lies in regard to the events of J6. He reads and spews lie after lie off of his teleprompter. Wrapping it up with an attack on the character of every American who disagrees with and endorsing the idiocy of Justice Sotomayor.
The Executive of the United States is not a King. The checks and balance on Executive power are the other 2 Branches of the Federal Government. Those checks and balances by the other 2 Branches can only be initiated by Impeachment & Conviction, followed by Indictment, Trial, Conviction, and Sentencing by the Supreme Court.
