Bill,
Is assassination an official duty of the presidency?
You tell me. It was Trump's own lawyers that argued that way:

*******
Trump team argues assassination of rivals is covered by presidential immunity (The Hill)

Former President Trump’s legal team suggested Tuesday that even a president directing SEAL Team Six to kill a political opponent would be an action barred from prosecution given a former executive’s broad immunity to criminal prosecution.

The hypothetical was presented to Trump attorney John Sauer who answered with a “qualified yes” that a former president would be immune from prosecution on that matter or even on selling pardons.

*******

Since your default position is that Trump is correct 100% of the time, I'd like to see how you interpret the recent Supreme Court ruling and whether political assassinations can be considered "an official duty of the presidency."

Then we can determine whether I was "WRONG WRONG WRONG."

(FYI I'm no virgin at being wrong. But I'd rather be proven wrong with facts, logic, and moral reasoning, rather than through your typical wishful thinking.)
