Two immediate thoughts: - Presidents have been able to get away with *a lot*, so to some extent, this codifies the (very, very bad!) status quo - BUT ALSO: To officially codify presidential immunity in this way, with reference to this specific situation (an attempted coup!) is utterly terrifying

There will be court cases to determine what is and what is not an official act, often on an individual basis.

With regard to your former point: a President _violated international law_ and greenlit a torture regime and not only was he not prosecuted for doing so, there wasn't even a criminal investigation. The Presidency already had nearly imperial powers in many respects.
