They understood the dangers of politics and impeachment and conviction of a President as a first step for criminal prosecution lessened the chances the country would devolve into backwoods Banana Republic like we see today where unelected partisan Secretaries of State push former Presidents off the ballot for any made up reason they can think.
This is an ENTIRELY different argument, legally.

How so?
If the bar to prosecuting a President, or former President for alleged crimes while President, is impeachment and conviction then it applies to murder just as it does insurrection.
Wasn't this raised as an issue years ago? Commander in chief orders a strike to kill an enemy combatant who is a US citizen. Do we really want local DAs or even a federal prosecutor to have the power to indict a President over such action?
