No, that’s what police use to blast away with impunity. The Supremes ruled the President has “absolute immunity”

I mean he could walk in and do it himself and say he was scared. They’ve already stated they can’t prosecute him until after the election.

Just as long as he declares it “an official act”. I think he just has to say that. It doesn’t have to be written down or anything. And it doesn’t matter if anybody actually hears him say it, as long as he does.

It could be a cheesey quip, like the shit the good guys say in actio films when they kill the bad guys.
“'Consider this an official act… of kickin your ass!”

I see Homer Simpson running around doing stupid shit yelling “official act!” repeatedly.

I’d like to see some “official” guillotines.

It’s like that scene from The Office where Michael declared bankrupcy by exclaiming it loudly and clearly in the office space.
Except in this case, it’s exactly how it works.

Supreme court watching that episode: write that down!
