Only in so much as the Supreme Court decides that it is “legal”.
So the details are that the Supreme Court left it open to interpretation as to what could be considered an “Official Act”. If the Supreme Court decides your murder spree is an “Official Act” you are good to go.
So if the Supreme Court Justices are conservative when Biden goes to trial, then yes, he can be found guilty.
I bet if you killed everyone on the court and in the legislature and replaced them
with your personal sycophants, they would probably agree it was an ‘official act’
That’s basically the entire republican plan. It’s all spelled out in Project 2025. Literally replacing the entire government with Trump loyalists, and military tribunals for anyone who cannot be directly fired and replaced. Trump has even said that Mitch McConnell is going to be tried in front of a military tribunal.
As a note here, military tribunal means no due process, and no defense. Just straight to the guilty verdict and death penalty.

Assassination is a good thought experiment because of this. It is literally up to “someone” to decide if X act was official.
And that someone will more than likely be the Supreme Court for a lot of things.
As much as I hate the political drama, Biden really needs to do something completely ridiculous to show everyone that this ruling isn’t sustainable.
He won’t though. And this shit will drag on and spiral with no checks.
It if they’re dead, tho…
Oh yeah, he could kill them all and then appoint a bunch of new very brave conservative justices.
It’s highly unlikely, but it’s funny to think about.
