Roberts noted. “There is no immunity for unofficial acts,” he concluded.Roberts then sent the case back to a federal district trial court to reconsider its charges against Trump and draw distinctions between his alleged official and unofficial actions.

During a January 9, 2024, hearing regarding Trump's 2020 election obstruction case, Trump’s attorney, D. John Sauer, argued before a three-judge panel of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals that Trump enjoyed absolute immunity for any crimes he may have committed as president. Judge Florence Pan asked Sauer whether immunity would cover a sitting president who orders the assassination of a political opponent. Sauer responded that prosecution could only start after a successful impeachment conviction; Pan replied that the response did not answer her question. The three judges questioned the contention that impeachment and conviction by Congress was a prerequisite for any criminal prosecution. Pan asked Sauer how a defendant who claims "blanket" immunity can also plausibly and concurrently claim immunity conditioned on the President having been "impeached and convicted" by Congress: "Once you concede that presidents can be prosecuted under some circumstances, your separation of powers argument falls away, and the issues before us are narrowed to are you correct in your interpretation of the impeachment judgment clause?"[38] On February 6, a federal appeals court dismissed Trump’s assertion of absolute immunity from criminal charges during his tenure as president.[39] On March 6, the Supreme Court set a date of April 25 for its consideration of the criminal immunity argument related to former President Trump’s claim of presidential immunity.[40][41]

------------------------------------------------Former U.S. President Richard M. Nixon is synonymous with Watergate and corruption. The burglary of the Democratic headquarters in the Watergate Hotel, and the ensuing coverup, led to the 37th president’s historic resignation.Back then, according to Nixon expert Ken Hughes of the University of Virginia’s Miller Center of Public Affairs, there was no question in the White House, Congress or the Supreme Court that a former president could be prosecuted for crimes committed when he wielded the powers of the presidency. In fact, President Gerald R. Ford conceded as much when he pardoned his former boss.But what if the new Supreme Court standard had been in place in 1974? Would the recent Trump v. United States ruling declaring that a president enjoys “absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for acts within the scope of his exclusive authority” and “at least a presumptive immunity from criminal prosecution for a president’s acts within the outer perimeter of his official responsibility” have changed history?
