If he is successfully impeached, then he can be prosecuted. Impeachment conviction lifts immunity. quote: Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law. U.S. CONST. art. I, § 3, cl. 7
That looks like it’s saying impeachment itself does not come with a punishment beyond removal from office, but the president can still have criminal charges brought against them in addition to it. I’m not sure it says the president can murder political rivals as long as their party also controls congress

This is a ridiculous hypothetical.
There is no immunity for anyone who has to live in the real world. Everyone knows there are punishments outside of 'official' channels.
You know why King John signed the Magna Carta? He was a King, with unlimited power and immunity. So why did he sign?
He did it because he lived in the real world and knew that there are limits outside of legal and political systems and he didn't want to test them.
