Now that this has been cleared up by the courts, I want to ask.

Is it even possible for the President to break the law? What would that look like?

Sotomayor laid out some examples in her dissent, such as assassinating political rivals, staging a coup and taking bribes for favours.

Those are examples of the president not breaking the law. She was saying that presidents now have carte blanche to do those things with no fear of prosecution.

Impeach.
