Why act on principle?

  Acting on principle is fundamental because principles are the only means by which one can consistently and rationally guide one's actions towards achieving long-term goals and values.

This grants the President broad executive authority, which has been interpreted to include a degree of immunity from legal prosecution. The Impeachment Clause in Article I, Section 3 provides that the President can be impeached and removed from office for "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."
