It only exists when observed by the right people.
Ah, but if a president can do whatever they want without being held legally responsible, then they can punish someone regardless of whether or not they’re legally responsible for what they did.
That comes with a fun loophole - if the courts decide that presidents are immune to all legal repercussions, then Biden can just illegally arrest Trump and throw him in prison for no reason, and suffer no legal repercussions for it.
Amongst the greatest of ridiculous things a president could ask for. The generation that had to experience Nixon is supporting this joke.
Nixon still had Congressional support until shortly before articles of impeachment were sent to the House floor (late July 1974, and never voted on) which was 3 years after the Pentagon Papers were first published (June 1971). He was only forced to resign AFTER the media started covering the scandal and what it actually meant in depth and Congress was having to actually start answering questions from constituents.
History.com has a decent timeline of the major events to reference.
There’s a reason propaganda-based “news” organizations like Fox News were created after Nixon, and regulations like the Fairness Doctrine were removed under Reagan. It was so they could control the media commentary and insert their own propaganda under the guise of impartial “news” services.
Organizations prior obviously had biases, but national news organizations were generally pretty balanced, nothing like many modern day organizations despite their clear lies about being balanced.
I like “You can’t impeach the President without them first having been charged with a crime!” next to “You have to impeach and convict the president before you can charge them with a crime!”.
These two incompatible legal arguments were both used by Trump’s lawyers at one point.
Ask not what the president can do, ask what the president did to me.

I hope he gets full immunity and proves POTUS can do whatever they want and then Biden publicly executes Trump. That shit would be fucking hilarious.
