The president is immune to prosecution for official acts. He could have "officially" arrested republican senators, if necessary.

You realize that would be an utterly insane road to go down and would hopefully lead to immediate impeachment, right?

We're already down that road; SCOTUS put us on it.
The question is now how much damage it'll do to the car to do a U-turn.
> would hopefully lead to immediate impeachment…
This describes like a hundred things in the Trump second term so far.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_v._United_States
> Trump v. United States, 603 U.S. 593 (2024), is a landmark decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in which the Court determined that presidential immunity from criminal prosecution presumptively extends to all of a president's "official acts" – with absolute immunity for official acts within an exclusive presidential authority that Congress cannot regulate such as the pardon, command of the military, execution of laws, or control of the executive branch
Seems accurate.
“Seems accurate” isn’t accurate CJ.
1. Immunity for core constitutional powers
2. Presumptive immunity for official acts.
3. No difference from anyone else for non-official acts
