This week President Trump claimed from the Oval office Barack Hussein Obama committed treason.
Today Trump says Obama likely has immunity.
Grok says otherwise: Presidential immunity, as outlined in the U.S. Constitution and clarified by legal precedents like Trump v. United States (2024), generally shields a president from criminal prosecution for actions taken within their official duties. However, treason, defined in Article III, Section X of the Constitution as levying war against the United States or providing aid and comfort to its enemies, is a specific and grave offense. Immunity is not absolute; it primarily covers actions within the scope of constitutional authority or "official acts."Treason, by its nature, would likely fall outside the scope of official presidential duties, as it inherently involves actions against the United States. No Supreme Court case explicitly addresses presidential immunity in the context of treason, but legal scholars argue that immunity would not extend to such acts, as they are fundamentally incompatible with the president's constitutional role. For example, actions constituting treason would likely be deemed "unofficial" and thus prosecutable.
