i think akhil amar reed captures something very important, which is that the roberts court rewrote article ii, which explicitly states that a president can be held criminally liable after impeachment (and which has long been understood to mean that he can be held liable after leaving office)

The courts do not have the legislative authority to write out core elements of the Constitution. That would need to be done via amendments and bills signed into law.

okay, well the supreme court just did, i don't know what else to tell you
