United States of America v. Ramiz Zijad Hodzic et al., United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, Eastern Division, No.4:15CR49CDP/DDN, 9 May 2018

Lawful combatants enjoy “combatant immunity” for acts of warfare, including the wounding or killing of other human beings, “provided those actions were performed in the context of ongoing hostilities against lawful military targets, and were not in violation of the law of war.”

The President Can Now Assassinate You, Officially

First responders have (in some counties had) immunity while doing their job. If grandma needs CPR you don't want a first responder to hesitate to provide that CPR because they might crack a rib and get sued, or worse, thrown in jail.

The president should not be afraid to make decisions in fear of political retaliation, which is exactly what this ruling clarifys.

If the first responder breaks the law they are held accountable. If the president breaks the law they will be held accountable.

This doesn't mean the president can do whatever they want and they are immune from the law. That's ridiculous. The ruling even states that.
