The Supreme Court held that under the constitutional structure of separated powers, a former president is entitled to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken within his “conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority.” Moreover, he is also entitled to presumptive immunity for all other official acts, because not all official acts fall within the “conclusive and preclusive authority” of the president. In such instances, the burden falls upon the government to prove that criminal prohibition of such acts “would pose no dangers of intrusion on the authority and functions of the Executive Branch.” Finally, the president has no immunity for unofficial acts.
