The president just tried to operate an executive order and it got shut down by the courts.

The specific ruling is about the president being immune from criminal charges while in office. And yeah, you can’t be taking George Washington to court (or jail) while he is leading the revolution. It’s essential for the nation to have a functioning leader, especially among the fog of war.

The Bible story of David and Saul presents another example of this principle.

To bring it back though… what you’re telling me is we can’t trust a democracy to elect an executive.
