The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Not immune, but pardonable.

Murder and conspiracy to commit murder are state crimes as well. Not pardonable.

Nor would they have the immunity from civil lawsuits the President enjoys to protect them from the wrongful death suits. Can't get a pardon from a civil case either.

Presidential immunity might encourage the President to get up to all sorts of malfeasance, but there's a vast amount of malfeasance that can't be done personally and individually - that requires the participation of other people that don't enjoy any immunity at all. Like assassinating someone. Which makes it incredibly unlikely that any of those sorts of things are going to be more likely just because the President can't be thrown in jail for it.
