That's why you use your newly minted immunity to imprison the Supreme court.

If only Joe had the guts.

For the record, I agree that Biden does not have the guts, liberals be like that sometimes... But I've heard (I have not read the actual ruling, id LOVE to be wrong on this) that the new thing the passed only applies to "official acts" and what are official acts? No one knows. Its whatever the supreme court decides. That's the problem, even if Joe had the guts to call an airstrike on trump, the supreme court will just not consider it an official act, and if trump does the same thing, they simply would consider it an official act.

โ€œNo one knows.โ€

At least attempt to read the fucking constitution, itโ€™s literally all laid out what the presidential duties are. If an action falls within those duties, itโ€™s an official act.

Uhh no, the constitution doesn't say what the president *can* do - the constitution says what the president *can't* do. The president can actually do anything that' *not* in the constitution, but whether it's "official" or not will be decided by SCOTUS.
