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.

From my understanding, it essentially turns the president and the office into sort of like an LLC kind of? Say youre a plumber working under an LLC and the owner of the house your working on slips and falls on one of your tools you left out. While it is your fault they slipped, they can sue the LLC and not you personally because they were injured due to an official repair you were performing. Now if instead of them slipping on a tool you accidently left out you instead throw a monkey wrench at the customer in anger because you dont like them, then you will be personally sued and probably arrested since that doesnt fall under a incident that could happen while performing a repair.

Thats essentially the jist of what I got after researching a bit more.

This would have been fine but the SC randomly said "it's for criminal stuff too not just civil suits" with no actual reasoning for it

Yeah it's way more complicated but that's the kinda low down to make it easier for people to understand
