[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]President is not above the law if impeached and convicted in the senate of said crime [/quote]

That's exactly what it comes down to with today's SC ruling. If something is done by a POTUS with THE INTENTION as part of his official duties OR the outer perimeter of his official duties, he can't be criminally charged. It would be up to Congress to discipline the POTUS via the power of impeachment & conviction.

The dissenting justices are absolutely correct in their example of Seal Team 6 so long as the POTUS believed doing so was within in official duties.

Today's ruling elevates the POTUS to a god, not a king. [/quote]

That's not what the opinion said.  Their official/unofficial line, which sounds good on paper but is a bit silly once you think about it, basically means that really really bad actions by the president do not get immunity.  Sort of bad actions probably get absolute immunity. But really really bad actions don't.[/quote]

Well, if "seal team 6" and fomenting a coup or a fake elector scheme aren't really bad actions, if stealing classified documents and sharing them with our enemies aren't crimes, then what are?[/quote]

That’s what Biden did. [/quote]
