President immunity as laid out by SCOTUS clearly covers pardons.

Including "I'll pardon you and everyone down the chain if you do a war crime" promises.

No it doesn't because the president always had absolute power to pardon.

That was not so clear cut prior.

Openly selling a pardon for $20M would almost certainly have led to a prosecution for bribery. Not now!
