You're missing the entire point. Now the president can't be prosecuted for taking a bribe, even if he publicly declares that's the reason for doing so.



> Now the president can't be prosecuted for taking a bribe

they can still be impeached and removed from office for basically any reason whatsoever. Maybe the won't goto jail but their presidency would be over.


How well did that work previously?


Y'know, the president has very convenient authority for just this kind of thing. Something about drones and strikes? Would be a shame if when people tried to impeach the president he exercised his qualified immunity to convince them that it's a Bad Idea.
