If it is an official act, which would mean they would have to assassinate you in their function of being the president. In other words, they couldn't just kill their neighbors.

They could probably kill them as part of a celebration, I guess. Jk, I hope.

Literal fascist shit? Yes. Legal? Who knows? By the time they figure it out, biden will be dead from old age.

The president has always been allowed to assassinate you... They're in charge of the CIA/FBI/NSA/IRS/Other scary 3 letters who assassinate people all the time.

Making presidents immune in official actions is almost required given the sheer number of decisions they have to make and the scrutiny they're under means they're sure to break laws sometimes, plus the subjectivity of some laws (eg is making bad decisions and crashing the econony/causing infighting in the military or whatever else treason?) however in unofficial actions they should absolutely not be immune.
