The U.S. Constitution states that the President wields expansive, unlimited powers—including the power to pardon. The President’s powers are defined as “blanket immunity,” protecting the president from facing legal recourse for any action whilst in office—unless impeached. The president’s “blanket immunity” also applies to the execution of existential threats to American national security.Presidents have utilized this throughout history to eject political opposition; in the name of “democracy,” (e.g. Obama’s assassination of Muammar Gaddafi; Bush’s military pursuit to find Weapons of Mass Destruction and execute Saddam Hussein). The president may also utilize these powers to remove threats within America, without consequence. The presidential blanket immunity would allow for the covert coordinated assassination of a political opponent, whilst in office. If Biden perceived Trump as a threat to his vision of America; he could weaponize his blanket immunity to attempt an assassination of the presidential candidate.
