there’s a narrow reading where it’s untouched: The Court says there’s immunity if the President is acting within his powers, and Youngstown reflects a limit on those powers. in practice I don’t know how you square Roberts’ articulation of executive power with Youngstown.

So on that reading, there remain limits to the president’s power—he can’t nationalize the steel industry or round up and imprison Japanese Americans, or any of the other things the Court has previously decided are not within his core powers?
