I think the “presidential immunity” is something that is a new interpretation of the constitution. No courts before presumed that was the case.

I don’t think FDR’s internment camps count as self-restraint

Certainly there have been other evil presidents like Jackson who just ignored the Supreme Court to do more genocide. But I don’t know if there’s ever been a president like. This incompetent and evil I guess?
