Fortunately she could just order his assassination, call it an official act (“he was obstructing the confirmation of my vice president”), and get off scot-free.
Yes I realize this would never work because
Harris would never do that, and democrats would never allow it, and
the Supreme Court would immediately rule this is not an official act for “reasons”.
