So if he had a foreign girlfriend, and broke up with her, ordering a drone strike on her would also not be criminal as long as ordering drone strikes is within his power. 

Murder isn't an inherent power of the presidency.  Someone brought up using the CIA to obstruct the investigation.  That too would be illegal as it's not an inherent power of the presidency.

However, deciding which cases to pursue is an inherent power of the executive.

I presume you said that about the CIA because their mission is supposed to be primarily abroad.  Suppose there was a police investigation Trump was afraid of, and he ordered the FBI to go after all the officers involved?

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
