Original Note:
An order to imprison political opponents would be illegal and would not be an "official act" covered by the SCOTUS ruling. POTUS would still be subject to prosecution. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23-939_e2pg.pdf If obeyed, officials involved would also be court-martialed for knowingly obeying an unlawful order. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/918
