Presidential immunity in the United States

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_immunity_in_the_United_States#:~:text=On%20June%2030%2C%202024%2C%20the,exclusive%20sphere%20of%20constitutional%20authority%22.

[excerpts]

Background

The Constitution of the United States grants legislative immunity to members of Congress through the Speech or Debate Clause, but has no explicit comparable grant for the president.[7] Early American politicians, including those at the Constitutional Convention, were divided as to whether such immunity should exist.[8] However, courts historically found that the president had absolute immunity from any personal damage liability for acts undertaken in the course of his duties.[9] The first suit brought directly against a president was Mississippi v. Johnson (1867), in which the Supreme Court of the United States ruled Andrew Johnson could not be sued as the actions in question were discretionary.[10] Spalding v. Vilas (1896) affirmed that federal cabinet officers had absolute immunity for actions "more or less" within the scope of his duties; Barr v. Matteo (1959) extended this to all federal executive officials.[11]
