However, Supreme Court precedent establishes that presidential immunity does not extend to criminal acts committed under the guise of official duties. In United States v. Nixon (1974), the Court unanimously rejected absolute immunity, stating: "Neither the doctrine of separation of powers nor the need for confidentiality of high-level communications can sustain an absolute, unqualified presidential privilege of immunity from judicial process under all circumstances." This principle was reinforced in Clinton v. Jones (1997), where the Court ruled that a sitting president has no immunity from civil litigation for acts unrelated to official duties. While criminal prosecution of a sitting president remains untested, the constitutional framework and historical precedent (e.g., the Nixon pardon) confirm that former presidents can face prosecution for actions exceeding lawful Article X authority. Treasonous acts—such as weaponizing intelligence agencies to subvert democracy—fall outside legitimate executive power. The Supreme Court’s jurisprudence consistently subordinates executive privilege to the rule of law when constitutional boundaries are breached. Prosecution is not only permissible but necessary when Article X powers are abused to undermine the republic itself.
