Calm down, everyone -breathe.

Calm down, everyone -breathe. | The SCOTUS' ruling on Presidential Immunity doesn't really change anything, has pretty much zero impact on what a POTUS can and can't do because the governing language has been sitting there in the Constitution the whole time. Article 1.3.7 guarantees former presidents are prosecutable for crimes committed in office; ergo, any act perpetrated by a sitting POTUS falling outside the scope of Presidential Duties, prosecutable under existing laws is, by default, not an official act. The D.C. federal court already shut down He Who Cannot Be Shamed's lawyers' "has to be impeached first" argument; so without an Amendment undoing the language of the Impeachment Clause, the Immunity ruling is chaff -sort of;; as the SCOTUS 9's majority assented to a ruling which, in measure, stands abrogative of A1.3.7, they're now vulnerable to impeachment, removal for violation of oath. Not that it's likely to happen but said abrogation is grounds to appeal, have the ruling revised. | image tagged in no thanks lemur,lemur is not impressed,no change,stay alert | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
