      The same Supreme Court that gave him license to do whatever he wants without any legal repercussions as long as he calls it presidential affairs?

      That’s a king. He’s a king.

      As an aside by doing this the Supreme Court effectively retroactively exonerated Nixon. The US is a joke.

          The floor is yours, you can nitpick semantics and discuss esoteric constitutional law, and in the end we will end up at the fact that it protects the President far far outside anything reasonable. It was a sycophantic ruling that was put in place by a corrupt court.

        without any legal repercussions

        He can’t be indicted. That’s not really the same as “without any legal repercussions”. The Supreme Court can stop him, and has on a few occasions. He doesn’t have to be a literal monarch, he’s a fascist pedophile which represents the worst our species has to offer. That’s plenty reason to be rid of him.

      He’s sending cbp and ice instead. The guard was just a stop gap while the pardoned the future ice recruits. Which scotus allowed until ice was staffed up.
