Mojo you yourself say "virtually" anything they do in office. So, what are the caveats if it's not murdering your political rivals?
The immunity is blanket over any action that is "acting in the office of the President." Not only can they not face criminal charges, anything they do while acting in the office of the President is not allowed as evidence in any court.

The only thing that isn't clear is if *anything* the president does is "outside" their actions in the office. Any argument can be made to that effect.

If the President orders the assassination of anyone (political rival is just an example), and that person follows the order, that person is accountable for their crime. However, one of the powers of the President is to pardon any crime by any criminal. So the person who gives the order is immune and can pass on immunity as they please.
