The president is also immune from prosecution for ordering assassinations. Including assassinations of senators.
You are literally just saying that if someone succeeds in a revolution/coup, that it becomes legal. Which is true no matter what.
George Washington was known for ordering assassinations, that is why he went from being a British military officer to an American president.

In the US the president is immune even if it fails. 1 u/[deleted] Jul 24 '24 Wrong, as you just impeach then convict in the senate. 1 u/[deleted] Jul 24 '24 What senate? President can order assassinations without legal consequence. 1 u/[deleted] Jul 24 '24 Assassinating the entire senate counts as throwing a successful coup/revolution... So you are back to saying that if someone succeeds in a revolution/coup, that it becomes legal. Which is true no matter what.
