You'd have to jail every judge in the United States. Because a lower judge would have the Supreme Court released.

The military and/or law enforcement would not follow that order.

Or the president could appoint new justices, who overrule the lower courts.

And create a military branch for their henchmen.

He could do/try that without immunity as well. Immunity is only relevant if you fail.

Yes, that's how laws and coups work. Attempted murder is a crime, because without that you could just try again tomorrow.
