If every past, present, and future legal scenario was explicitly and unambiguously addressed by the constitution, we wouldnt need the Supreme Court.
In reality it is an imperfect document that can never possibly be complete.
- dudinax 2y agoYou're suggesting presidential immunity is a new idea, and criminal charges against ex-presidents are a new threat to the executive branch, both of which were wrong. 230 years ago people had already through through this. Immunity isn't in the constitution because they didn't want it in there. The president already has all the constitutional protection he needs from prosecution: a prosecutor can't remove him from office.
