Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity and assassination claims
The claim that the Supreme Court ruling grants the president authority to order the assassination of Americans and political opponents is false. The ruling provides limited immunity from criminal prosecutions for actions taken while in office. Precedent goes back to former President Barack Obama ordering the targeted killing of a suspected terrorist. The argument that the president can order military personnel to commit murder is refuted.
Key Points
- Supreme Court ruling does not grant the president authority to commit crimes
- Precedent set by former President Barack Obama regarding targeted killing of a suspected terrorist
- Refutation of the argument that the president can order military personnel to commit murder
