Do presidents have immunity from the law? Trump case to separate ‘official acts’ from crimes

What’s the special counsel’s best argument?

That brings us back to the ideal that no one is above law, and it’s one embedded in America’s democracy.

Smith says it would be “particularly dangerous” for the courts to rule the president has total immunity from criminal charges.

Doing so “threatens to license presidents to commit crimes to remain in office.” What about a “president who orders the National Guard to murder his most prominent critics; or a president who sells nuclear secrets to a foreign adversary?”

If the president is truly immune when he uses his official power, “the nation would have no recourse to deter a president from inciting his supporters during a state of the union address to kill opposing lawmakers — thereby hamstringing any impeachment proceeding — to ensure that he remains in office unlawfully,” he wrote.


Someone is going to have a lot of difficulty in life if they see legal arguments made in a case on Presidential immunity as "cautioning voters if Trump wins."
