It would be authoritarian only if he tried to executive order term limits and ethics on a court that needs both.

Then again, it would be an 'official act' which the court has ruled from which he has immunity from prosecution.

The irony would be rich. Go for it Joe!

The court’s decision in Trump v. United States has created a situation that gives the president supreme authority to execute “official acts” even if they are illegal, but does not hold him responsible for them. It gives absolute immunity to “core constitutional powers” and states that the president’s presumption of immunity for all other official acts can be overcome only if a criminal prosecution presents no “danger of intrusion on the authority and functions of the Executive Branch.”
