Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. said a president \u201cmay not be prosecuted for exercising his core constitutional powers, and he is entitled, at a minimum, to a presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts.\u201d But, Roberts added, the president \u201cenjoys no immunity for his unofficial acts, and not everything the President does is official. The President is not above the law.\u201d\xa0
