It simply means that "incumbent Presidents are immune from suit or from being brought to court during the period of their incumbency and tenure." (In re: Bermudez, G.R. No. 76180, 24 October 1986)
It is settled in jurisprudence that the President enjoys immunity from suit during his or her tenure of office or actual incumbency. (Lozada vs. Macapagal-Arroyo, G.R. Nos. 184379-80, April 24, 2012)
