He can still probably get impeached, if it’s something congress doesn’t like
dems have the senate, he wont be convicted
I don't even think this ruling allows for impeachment, TBH. This ruling was pretty broad. As long as the act is done in an official capacity and it is within the president's powers, even if only under certain circumstances which you can't prove the circumstances didn't exist if you can't prosecute, then there is immunity. Immunity means no one can even investigate officially, much less bring a case. The only thing you can investigate is if you can prove that he did it while not acting in an official capacity, which sex is one of the few things that applies to and even that could probably be manipulated, or that the president has no authority whatsoever over the subject, but that's pretty limited since he has full authority over the military and the entire executive branch as well as our nuclear weapons. I mean he can't go into the Supreme Court, take the place of a Justice and issue a judgement. But he definitely can use the CIA to assassinate a Justice to change something. And you would only be able to prosecute the CIA agents, not the president.
