You obviously haven't read the actual Supreme Court decision you appear to be alluding to.Dont worry you just turned your president into a king
I have.You obviously haven't read the actual Supreme Court decision you appear to be alluding to.
Granting pardons is an act that is explicitly within a president's constitutional authority an thus has full immunity. However, accepting a bribe most certainly is not and thus has no immunity, unless of course you believe the utterly unhinged dissent written by Justice Sotomayor.After July 2024, may a President be prosecuted for (as an example) selling pardons?
Let's consider historical context. No US President had ever been prosecuted for anything he did while in office. Not for droning an Iraqi wedding. Not for illegal wars. Not for any of the numerous highly questionable actions many of them have taken. US Presidents had de facto immunity. Prosecuting them after they left office was something that we simply did not do; it was considered uncivilized; the purview of third-world countries.The supreme court decision leaves a lot a wriggle room to escape prosecution for criminal acts or just tie things up in lower courts for years
Please don't misquote me."deliniates with some precision what the president can and cant do"
Right. For the first time ever, we now have legal precedent that there ARE things a President CAN be prosecuted for.Sorry here is the precise words
"What the SCOTUS decision does is delineate with some precision what a President can and can't be prosecuted for." sorry for my poor english summary
"It" -- what exactly are you referring to?Yes but they also made it impossible to prosecute it in practice
sorry for my poor english summary
