It’s very hard for me to square that idea that trump is an existential threat who must be stopped by any means necessary, and the notion that Biden is allowed to do anything legally.

If Biden gets Trump assassinated by the CIA will it be considered official business?

yeah, the decision says exercises of constitutional authority have immunity. they're /presumed/ to be official acts. so if assassinations are covered by the president, he's free to kill off his political enemies.

As commander in chief, ordering military objectives is a constitutionally declared duty of the president so it seems very clear to me as that's a conclusive constitutional duty. This line seems relevant: "[...] President to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclu- sive constitutional authority"

There was some reporting a while back about how the CIA wanted to assassinate Julian Assange and the Trump administration had to talk them down
