    If Biden gets Trump assassinated by the CIA will it be considered official business?

      yeah, the decision says exercises of constitutional authority have immunity. they're /presumed/ to be official acts. so if assassinations are covered by the president, he's free to kill off his political enemies.

        As commander in chief, ordering military objectives is a constitutionally declared duty of the president so it seems very clear to me as that's a conclusive constitutional duty. This line seems relevant: "[...] President to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclu- sive constitutional authority"

        There was some reporting a while back about how the CIA wanted to assassinate Julian Assange and the Trump administration had to talk them down
