Which is why the founders clearly enumerated what immunity the president has. Of course he should have other topics he receives immunity for at sone level beyond what is mentioned in the Constitution, I just think it's comical that all of a sudden the "originalists" on the Supreme Court want to start getting down to "interpretation" of "unsaid" things in the constitution as it pertains to any possible way to delay the obvious final conclusion that of course a president can't be immune to prosecution regardless of impeachment, as one justice said, blanket immunity would lead to a presidential crime factory...when earlier this same court said essentially that "abortion isn't mentioned in the constitution so it's not a right"...There is a ton to consider and I think the framers did a pretty good job.
Impeachment is a political move, not a judicial branch move. Predicating judicial proceedings on prior Impeachment is just ridiculous.
