  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

He could literally order Trump shot in the street as presidents now have blanket immunity.

No, he couldn't. Remember that the SC did not list the "official acts" that would be covered under immunity, so the SC is the arbiter in any specific case.

A republican president however could, that's out of the question.

He could still do it just for funsies.

Just one, as a treat.

Let’s say he did.

Which outcome would you rather see- Joe go to jail for murder, or his act setting precedent for future Presidents?

Neither outcome seems desirable.
