If the president commits a crime that isn’t in his official capacity then they can still impeach him. They can pretty much impeach him for anything if they have the votes. Police officers have qualified immunity. It’s their duty to enforce the law. The president is the head of the executive branch which’s duty is to enforce the law. So why tf would a random police officer have immunity but not the president? The president dictates policy to the atf, fbi, cia,NSA, and all the other agencies. If he orders one of those agencies to do something thinking it’s going to save American lives but he ends up being wrong then he shouldn’t go to jail. If he had the potential to go to jail then you would compromise the ability of the federal government to enforce the law and protect Americans. Obviously there’s a line that can be crossed between acting in an official capacity and being a tyrant or abusing your power. In that case house impeaches senate finds guilty and removes. Once that happens then he’s fair game for criminal prosecution by the appropriate courts.

it actually makes impeachment and removal pointless. That power only makes sense if the president has the absolute immunity that Trump argued for. This ruling actually limits the immunity of a president but makes impeachment pointless, as I stated.

So what Trump has been going through the last 8 years is nothing to them but if he gets back into office there is all this fear all of a sudden. Hmmmmm

Scott is for the executive branch! WE need to put them in their place. This is a huge step backwards for our country!

There's a precedent for civil immunity but not criminal immunty. Nixon v. Fitzgerald (1982): The Supreme Court held that the President is entitled to absolute immunity from civil damages liability for acts within the "outer perimeter" of his official responsibilities. This means the President cannot be sued for damages for official acts taken while in office.
