Nah, we're about to see the beginning of the American empire.
Careful, if trump gets into office you might legally see his unlimited power
At what point does his vice president throw him off a walkway on the Death Star?
If the vice president kills him, and they become the president. Was it an official act making them immune?
They weren't president when they did it, so no. But the new president could just pardon himself if the GOP approved of the assassination, since the 6 SCROTUS's would say it's legal to do so.
"I will make it legal." -Future VP becoming President
SCROTUS: "It benefits the GOP regime, so we'll allow it."
Incapacitate the president, invoke 25th, then proceed with immunity
Edit: NOT LIKE THAT
One club with a wrench... "I hear by invoke the 25th" next club, ahem, that was an official act.
He could have you killed for that comment.
This did not age well
In the classical sense of the word imperialism there's already been a lot of the American Empire.
