> You want a President to be able to carry out the roles of the office without concern that his or her political opponents will use the courts to try to punish those actions.

Why?

In the UK we of course have no president; all government actions can be subjected to judicial review, whichever minister was in charge. Judicial review is a civil procedure, not a criminal one. All the court can do is order the government to reverse the unlawful decision, and make good its consequences.

The UK parliament is not subject to judicial review. Judicial review in the UK only applies to crown corporations or specific public institutions. Such a position would be considered repulsive to the vast majority of Americans.
