This sounds like the status quo that existed before this ruling. Any president could plead the 5th to avoid answering questions about their motive.

I didn’t say it wasn’t a terrible situation. I truthfully answered the OPs question that it’s not Article 48 as there are still opportunities for review by the other branches of government.

These actions were already possible. Nothing has been granted that wasn’t already there, but now we know a president can’t be sued/charged for official acts after they leave office. And it appears the burden of proof is, as always, up to the prosecutors to prove. So, once again, the courts will have to establish precedence over what they consider to be official and unofficial.

The president’s power is still checked via judicial review and congressional impeachment.

I get a lot more out of reading history than fiction, and there are so many greats choc full of life lessons. A few that really stand out:

Nicolas and Alexandra - ignore the little people at your own peril

The Guns of August - political leaders have no idea what they’re doing

The Right Stuff - some people are willing to do anything to get that sensation of living on the edge

Al Franken had a conscience. When called on his mysoginy, he did the honorable thing and resigned. Sadly there are no more politicians like him.
