Seems like that would pretty clearly be an unofficial act.

A POTUS could argue that only a POTUS could order that, and therefore it was an official act. I don't know how posse comitatus would come into play, since SEAL teams (or any military arm) aren't supposed to conduct operations (outside of training) on US soil.

Though it would only apply to POTUS, so everyone else would be liable (and since murder is not a federal crime, the POTUS couldn't pardon the participants in whatever state they are charged). I see that.
