No public servants immune from suit

NO one in government is immune from suit. What is immune relates to acts. PNoy cannot say “You cannot sue me, I am President. So what if I rape or kill?” Neither is in a president’s job description. Immunity is very limited in an egalitarian society without royalty. Thus a lawmaker may defame me in Congress and I may not sue him. Otherwise, one has to take responsibility

Vice President Aaron Burr was charged criminally for killing Alexander Hamilton in a duel. Indicted while in office, the filed case did not prosper but not on the basis of immunity.
