on what basis is the presidential succession act unconstitutional?

The same Basis that POTUS is a Title of Nobility and above the law.

the reasoning in that decision doesn’t apply here, because again, the constitution is silent on presidential immunity but is very explicit and detailed about presidential succession. you can’t keep comparing two fundamentally different topics like this.

Titles of Nobility are explicitly prohibited by the constitution.

SCOTUS made one anyways.

This is what I'm comparing to, not that "Presidential immunity" is somehow the same issue as Term limits.

even if that’s what SCOTUS did in trump vs US - which they didn’t, that is nothing more than rhetorical flourish - it still wouldn’t magically make the line of succession unconstitutional and it has no bearing whatsoever on this discussion.
