The definition of words. It is unconstitutional to infringe on constitutional rights. Official actions are made such by the granted authority. No unconstitutional action is supported by the granted authority of the constitution.

So if you belive that the election was stolen, and organize a military uprising to fix that, then what?

You're acting in your official capacity to uphold the constitutional rights. It's all fine and dandy, and you should get full immunity.

Or if you don't believe the election was stolen. The court said In dividing official from unofficial conduct, courts may not inquire into the President’s motives.

There are countless other cases.
