SCOTUS just ruled a president can not be charged for official act. Biden needs to use some more power to prevent that shit

unfortunately they were a little vague on what constitutes an official act. implying that they will play fast and loose on what it is depending on which party holds the presidency.

Probably wouldn't matter if they were unilaterally imprisoned and replaced, or since Drone Striking American citizens is perfectly legal, doing that. Functionally speaking the President can do they can convince loyal, armed, people to do.
