Would this not involve overriding TRUMP v. UNITED STATES[1]?

> Held: Under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of Presidential power entitles a former President to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority. And he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts. There is no immunity for unofficial acts.

    No, it's not a criminal prosecution.

      If it's civil the President has a much longer history of being immune.

        In that event the case you cited isn't involved.
