In order to prosecute the case, it must be reopened. In essence Cannon's dismissal of the case must be overruled by a higher court, the 11th, circuit, for this to happen. Then prosecution can proceed. I agree that this whole series of shenanigans, speicifically by Cannon are absolutely ridiculous. And there is a 'legal system' and it must proceed according to specific laws, rules, and procedures.
Except for official presidential acts. (could it be more vague?)
--SCOTUS
Stacked court is stacked
I don't think the vagueness is going to be a major factor here. After someone stops being the president, by definition they cannot do a presidential act, official or otherwise.

Clarence and Sam would disagree, for reasons.
