If inciting an insurrection towards their own government is an action without legal repercussions, I don’t see how the law would be less lenient about straight up firing a gun at an opponent.

I by no means want any party to resolve to violent tactics. So even though I play with the thought, I really don’t want anything like it to happen. I am just curious if it’s actually the case that a sitting president has now effectively a licence to kill.

What am I missing?

    If the president crossed state lines to commit the murder it is federal!

      For that matter, immunity from criminal charges for attempting to pardon oneself is not the same as the pardon being valid.
