    Would a Vice President killing a President be an official act that grants immunity under the supreme court’s new “laws don’t apply to presidents” bullshit?

    What if Vance uses the 25th amendment on Trump, then becomes president? He can do anything at that point.

      Vice President killing a President

      Vance killing the president is now on my Bingo card.

      Yes, but only if they can delay the trial until after they’re sworn in.

      That depends on how many motorcoaches you can afford to give to the supreme court members.

      Vice president doing it wouldn’t be but once he kills the president, he is automatically president per the 25th amendment. Then he just pardons himself. Bam, criminally immune. And pardon power is in article 2, can’t be questioned, automatically an official act with presumptive immunity.

      This supreme court ruling is so dumb.

      Using the 25th amendment to remove a living president would require cooperation of the cabinet and congress (if Trump contests the removal).
