But what if the President merely ordered the arrest of X? What if in the course of the arrest, a SWAT team was dispatched to the home of X? Instead of quietly completing the arrest without incident, what if a SWAT team member got trigger happy and began shooting and wound up killing X? Well, that's not assassination, that's just an arrest gone bad. Happens every day in 'Murica. Damn citizens should respect the police when they show up to your door.

I was thinking similarly. The USSC has just given the President a decent sized cloak of immunity for lots of things. So how can Biden use that cloak to the country's advantage between now and Jan 20? (And hopefully beyond, but let's focus on the short term.) What can he do? Yeah, there's your idea above - which I'll admit I had thought of, too. But what else?
