An appeals court judge asked what if a president gave the order to Seal Team 6.

Former President Donald Trump is arguing before the U.S. Supreme Court against being disqualified for office under the 14th Amendment.'s case for "absolute presidential immunity" -- and it could come up again at the U.S. Supreme Court in historic arguments on Thursday.

"I asked you a yes-or-no question," Judge Florence Pan said during the arguments. "Could a president who ordered SEAL Team 6 to assassinate a political rival who was not impeached, would he be subject to criminal prosecution?""So your answer is no," Pan said. Special counsel attorney James Pearce, arguing for the government, called such a theory "frightening."
