Which President Needs Blanket Immunity (6)

Jan 20, 2024 8:21 PM CST Which President Needs Blanket Immunity
The United States has had 46 presidents in its 237 years of constitutional existence. Only one person who served as a president has asked for blanket immunity. This raises so many questions:

1. Why does a president need criminal and civil immunity while serving an elected office on behalf of the American electorate? Shouldn't presidents serve under the same laws as the citizens they serve?

2. Who would ask for immunity? Well, only someone who has committed criminal acts - right?

3. Could presidents who have total immunity - have their opponents prosecuted; jailed; or killed and not have to serve criminal consequences? Seems to be an easy answer - but if it applies to all presidents - wouldn't Joe Biden have the authority to kill Donald Trump - and never have to face criminal charges?

4. Do you really think the Supreme Court will uphold blanket immunity for sitting presidents?


We have come to this point in American politics because of one person: Donald Trump. I totally understand why he wants immunity. What I don't understand is why anyone would support any president who needs immunity for the actions he / she takes while president.

Please explain your thoughts......
