PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY

There is nothing in the text of US Constitution about Presidential immunity, either for official or private duties. This is the make believe of some members of the present Supreme Court who are in the process of developing the concept of presidential immunity, based on official and unofficial duties for the office. There are no official and unofficial roles for the presidency in the Constitution.

The conservative majority in the Supreme Court has judicial review of Congressional legislation, judicial review does not give the the court the power to reinterpret the role of the presidency into official and unofficial duties in order to establish presidential immunity.

The president, at any one time, is still a citizen, with the same rights as any other citizen. No citizen in a republic has immunity from the law. The members of the Supreme Court took an oath to the Consitution, not to Donald Trump and the Republican party. All of a President’s duties are official duties, and none of them indicate presidential immunity.

Appointed bureaucrats, the members of this court took an oath to uphold the Constitution, which does not define the presidency as having official and unofficial duties, or include any concept of presidential immunity.
