Floridaman's defense team is confused—the president is not permitted by law or constitution to issue a "blanket" edict of "absolute immunity" without any assertion of execution privilege in response to the House engaging in the constitutionally provided-for process of impeachment.
More than this, Floridaman is so far from just "asserting his rights" as president that he's actually arguing for an END to the Impeachment Clause, an END to Congressional oversight, and an END to checks and balances. It's a lawless argument that has nothing to do with rights.
