The indictment’s allegations that Trump attempted to pressure the Vice President to take particular acts in connection with his role at the certification proceeding thus involve official conduct, and Trump is at least presumptively immune from prosecution for such conduct. The question then becomes whether that presumption of immunity is rebutted under the circumstances. When the Vice President presides over the January 6 certification proceeding, he does so in his capacity as President of the Senate. "

The way I see it, as commander in chief of the USA with a sworn duty to defend our constitution, and all enemies foreign and domestic, president Trump could have (imo should have) given his subordinate Mike Pence a direct order to uphold the constitution, and not certify the election.

The notion that anything Trump did or said to encourage Mike Pence to obey the constitution as being somehow illegal, is an absurdity promoted by leftist's, and political enemies of Trump.
