Why is presidential immunity for "official acts" vacuous?
Art. 2, section 1: P swears to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution.
Art. 2, Sec. 3: P shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.
Ergo, no act violating the Constitution or Laws (treaties included) is official.

Support Eugene Vindman and Mark Kelly
As a retired Army officer, I swore the same oath to support and defend the Constitution. Retirement didn't rescind that oath for me, any more than it did for them. That requires resisting an administration that ignores the Constitution and the law every day.
