Original Note:

The tension lies in the distinction between "official" and "unofficial" acts and the extent to which immunity should be applied. https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/article-1/section-3/ https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/457/731/ https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/520/681/ https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/01/can-the-president-be-indicted/576427/ https://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/common/briefing/Impeachment_Clinton.htm https://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/common/briefing/Impeachment_Johnson.htm https://www.law.georgetown.edu/faculty/neal-katyal/
