Make it so felons cannot run for president and resign immediately after.

If he did that Biden would be remembered as one of the greatest presidents ever.

Unfortunately Trump isn’t the real underlying problem; the republican party will churn out someone even worse who is not a convicted felon.

They still have Ron DeSantis. There's a good chance he will run in 2028, if either Trump wins but the GOP won't make it so that he can be re-elected indefinitely, or Trump loses and the cognitive decline will also be shown on him even more...

But wait until after the Republican convention.

That's not how the ruling works.

Biden could go shoot Donald Trump (in broad daylight on 5th Avenue) and could not be prosecuted for it.

He cannot make new laws. That's still Congress's job, for now.

How does immunity let him do that?

Doing that would require changing the constitution. Legally, this would let him go and scribble new words on the paper version of the constitution. He would be immune from the charge of vandalism. But, that wouldn't actually change the constitution.

That's a legislative thing, not a crime to just be immune for.
