The perfectly valid presidential-immunity murder hypothetical

The presidential-immunity murder hypothetical typically refers to a scenario that was brought up during the hearing of a case against President Trump on October 23, 2019. The President’s lawyer suggested that the President could not be charged with a crime, even hypothetically shooting someone on Fifth Avenue in New York, while still in office.

This statement was a reference to a comment that President Trump made during his campaign that he could “stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody” without losing any voters
