Ordering Navy's Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival is not an official act of the President because the purpose is not within Presidential powers.

Albaby has essentially stated the same, but I still don't see the reason. Isn't one of the president's constitutional powers - and in fact a mandatory duty - to protect the U.S. from threats both foreign and domestic? If so, why can't Biden (or any other POTUS) simply claim that as the reason for assassinating (or jailing) anyone, including a former - and potentially future - threat to America?
