So if the President calls another official over the secure line and tasks them to falsify election results and then prevents the transcript from going into the archive, how do you even get em? Practically speaking. That's the problem, that's how it works -- use the office immunity, plausible deniability and procedure rules to your advantage. Making it so is asking for trouble, just waiting to be abused the hell of. It's the same things cops do, jeez.

idk man, probably the same way that they get mafia bosses who write their plans on little pieces of paper that are given to henchmen who then burn them I understand your point and I'm not saying it's a great spot to land at, but I don't understand how the country's President can function if it were any other way. It's not just about Donald Trump, it's about 1 through 44 and 46 through whatever number we get to before this whole place burns down.

Then that would be a violation of the Presidential Records Act (1981) and they could be prosecuted. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_Records_Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_Records_Act

  They could just argue the PRA is impeding their ability to communicate with the people within the executive branch and are thus immune to the punishments of the PRA.

  You missed the part where the Supreme Court granted the president immunity.
