Presidents clearly engage in public and private acts while in office. Some acts are easily defined as one or the other there are certain acts that are much more muddy.


That's absolutely correct. There is no doubt that presidents should have immunity for many of their public acts. Their private acts must meet legal muster. Hence, limited immunity. I don't understand why this is so difficult to understand.

That part is not difficult. The issue is who gets to decide when an act can be labeled as private and outside presidential authority. DOJ is arguing that they should get to decide but SCOTUS is not going to rule on their favor. The difficult question is how are they going to rule on who gets to decide?
