the president can literally do whatever he wants with the only recourse being if congress decides to punish him. he could kill trump tomorrow and as long as the congress leaves him be, its legal as an ‘official act’.
The conservative court would just rule it wasn’t an official act and say he could be prosecuted for it. They have no qualms with contradicting themselves for whatever political goal they are seeking to achieve.
Hence why the first official act abused in this way would need to get rid of the conservatives on the court. Sure, the remainder will still likely punish, but they also aren’t self contradicting jackasses so it works out for the best

Well, that’s why he would need to “reform” the court first.
It’s such fucking ridiculous ruling showing how they destroyed their legitimacy by simply being partisan hacks.
