Am I correct that, if Trump won the Electoral College, and Joe Biden held a gun to Kamala Harris' head and told her not to certify the election, this would be within the parameters of official conduct and Biden could not be prosecuted for it?
i keep re-reading this to make sure i didn't hallucinate

You know, unless Biden didn't purchase the gun properly, because apparently that matters now.

Yeah, purchasing a gun the wrong way and being named Biden is prosecutable.

When are Democrats going to stop doing paperwork crimes

It would be incumbent on the department of justice to prove that holding a gun to her head to demand that is *not* an official act. So...yes?

Or if he ordered a Marine to hold a gun to her head. Then it's definitely official.

He could order the Marine to shoot, and his reasons for doing so may not even be queried.

Or simply arrest every member of Congress so they can’t certify the votes.
Even Xi Jinping has to abide by the pretense of official restraint. The US president no longer does. SCOTUS has made the US President less subject to the rule of law than the Chinese dictator currently is.

Of course not, Biden's a Democrat. Didn't you read the opinion? "Official acts" are whatever five justices say they are, and six justices are Republicans.

Yes, but by design, Democrats will never operate on the level of Republicans. They must be the face to the GOP's heel. It's all a fabrication and this was the plan all the while.

The main argument against is that not certifying the vote under threat of violence is a violation of the Constitutional transfer of power, thereby outside official acts. I guess? Who knows now.

Therein lies the point. The morass this decision has created will haunt this country for decades. And then let's just say the President announces he's not leaving on January 20 because...official act or something. At that moment do we have one President or two?

Wrong, sorry, it’s obvious our higher education institutions have failed Americans and Churchill was right. POTUS has always been immune from prosecution for official duties, otherwise there are 5 Republican presidents that should/would have been tried for treason and genocide, basically murder.
