Exactly, and that’s how this court is so tricky. By not fully defining what an “official act” is, they’re claiming the power to decide later. Because that very issue will inevitably reach them after some batshit district court ruling. So they ultimately get to decide regardless, and this court regularly makes up ahistorical and completely absurd justifications that don’t pass the smell test, so we’re doomed.
As far as I can tell, yup. And by official, it basically means anything done while in office, so he could theoretically walk out onto Pennsylvania Avenue, spray a group of protestors holding signs with an M16, and walk back inside with no legal repercussions.
Didn’t they just legalize “any” official action?

Easy.
Republican: Legal. Democrat: Illegal.
Yes…any action the president takes and say it’s part of his official duties is legal.
Biden doesn’t have the balls to do what he needs to do right now.
The great experiment failed.
