Yup. The Constitution includes a narrowly-defined legal immunity for members of Congress in a specific circumstance. Not one word about Presidential or Supreme Court Justice immunity. Those parts were made up out of thin air.

I expected some level of immunity from prosecution for a President's official acts. Frankly, a limited amount of immunity is probably appropriate and consistent with past decisions.
But absolute immunity for anything POTUS tells the military to do, no inquiry into motives allowed, is terrifying.
