- Comment: This is a split from Template:Did you know nominations/Arrest of Ulysses S. Grant after a rescope and rewrite. It met newness criteria at the time of the original nomination (under its pre-rescoping title), so my understanding is that it still counts as new. Due to the extent of rescoping, I have contributed a new QPQ.
Created by Tamzin (talk). Self-nominated at 19:57, 7 May 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Presidential immunity in the United States; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
New enough, long enough. Hook short enough and sourced (as is every paragraph). No neutrality problems found, no copyright problems found, no maintenance templates found. QPQ done. Good to go.--Launchballer 15:15, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Neither memo has force of law, but are binding within the Department of Justice. Because they were not promulgated with room for public comment, they do not qualify as administrative law either; rather, they are an internal prosecutorial policy
, sourced to the same as above. Is a more on-point line than that needed? -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 18:05, 9 May 2023 (UTC)- @Tamzin: I wonder if you can put the hook language in the article with a citation. It will be easier than deciphering the legal jargon. Bruxton (talk) 18:08, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
