Should the President of the United States have immunity for criminal acts that seem to include murder and insurrection.

Forbes put it like this in their coverage of the Supreme Court hearings on Trumps immunity case:

Justice Sonia Sotomayor asked Sauer if that would include granting ex-presidents immunity for ordering the military to assassinate a political rival—after the attorney previously told a federal appeals court he believed that should be subject to immunity—and Sauer doubled down on his previous argument, suggesting it would be eligible for immunity “depending on the” circumstances.

I should add the Mr. Sauer is Donald Trump’s lawyer. The circumstances include not being impeached and convicted. That seems to be a very low bar which is easily reachable as a President has never been impeached and convicted in the history of the United States.

The same low standard seems to apply if the President ordered a coup

In response to a question from Justice Amy Coney Barrett, Sauer said that former presidents might not even face charges if they were impeached and removed from office for ordering an unsuccessful military coup.

Will the Supreme Court grant this nearly unlimited power?

Will it be used to kill rivals? Stage coups? And if the coup is successful, abolish the Constitution, the Supreme Court, Congress, and democracy?
