Yeah, you are.

Since the president commands Seal Team 6, he can instruct it to do anything he likes and as long as he argues that “I was doing that pursuant to my constitutional authority” the courts are going to grant him immunity.

No. I'm not missing anything CO, this time I'm not. The President can instruct Seal Team 6, but first, they may not do it. Second, if it is illegal to do, the courts are not going to grant him immunity. This just doesn't compute. You can make up scenarios all you want, but this isn't so.
