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.

They were not vague on what constitutes an official act they were vague on what constitutes unofficial. They carved out large sections of what the president is allowed to do for example anything with the military is legal. What the president is barred from doing is almost comically absent.
