> Immunity for things they do as part of their official duties.

How would attempting to overturn the results of a free and fair election be considered an "official duty"? If it is, then the Presidency became a dictatorship, leaving impeachment by Congress -- an extremely difficult bar -- the only recourse.

It's only called an attempt if it fails. If it goes through till some point, it's His Royal Highness General Alladin bring order and justice and acting to grant their people all the freedoms they asked for.
