    It allows for immunity to any “official acts” by the president while they are in office and does not define what an “unofficial” act would be. So if an action is challenged from the lower courts it’ll end up at the supreme court where they will deem it official or unofficial.

    Which brings the onus of dethroning a king president up to the Congress to impeach them. Which has never happened. However, we have impeached a supreme court justice in the past.

      They did rule that you can’t question a president about his motivations or reasons for any particular act when determining whether it was official or not. Only whether the act itself qualifies as official or not, regardless of the reason behind it.
