It's an official act, so total immunity applies.
What isn't an official act you say? Well that's a good question, but simply put anything that isn't an unofficial act. But then what's an unofficial act I hear you ask? I'll let you know once we have found one, but so far none have been found and it's possible none exist.
Close… the way it was phrased it basically becomes up to the Supreme Court to decide what’s “official”
He's not currently president, so it wouldn't be an official act, no? The wording doesn't give the president immunity for life. It has to be something done through the office of the president.
