Supreme Court ruled the President gets near absolute immunity and can't have evidence brought forth against him lmaoo

Under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of Presidential power entitles a former President to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority. And he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts. There is no immunity for unofficial acts.

Testimony or private records of the President or his advisers probing such conduct may not be admitted as evidence at trial.

or any us citizen for any reason

on the other side this is what the constitution means by "high crimes" for impeachment. those arent like sexual violence or murder or whatever. high crimes are abuses of power. i think under this interpretation they are saying the president can basically do whatever and its up to congress to hold them accountable.

in reality we know how this will work
