Presidents don't actually DO the work, themselves. They tell other people to do the work. The work getting done is an extension of their will, however, as the court sees it. While they left the opening there... This court will never allow Bill Barr to be prosecuted for carrying out orders

But not because of presidential immunity. And anything Barr did in response to Trump orders is still considered okay by SCOTUS? Is that how it would go?

Interesting. I'm less certain and I don't think the court addressed that did they? I guess if they keep going down the road of "unitary executive" they might get there. But "just following orders" seems a bit thin. Even soldiers can be prosecuted and "orders" is generally not protective.
