Executive privileges does not protect everything the president does.
It set the precedent that another president will pardon the crimes of the past president. That's why you will never see a president prosecuted for any crimes.

The precedent set in the US v Nixon case was that the President of the United States is not immune from being subpoenaed or compelled to produce evidence in a criminal investigation. The case established that executive privilege, while a legitimate and important concept, is not absolute and can be overridden by the need for justice and the rule of law.

What was the Supreme Court's ruling in the US v. Nixon case of 1974?
Nixon v. United States is not related to the case involving former President Richard Nixon.The Nixon v. US, (1993) ruling listed in United States Reports (the official volumes containing US Supreme Court opinions) is Nixon v. United States, 506 US 224 (1993). This case is not related to former President Nixon, but to an impeached Mississippi US District Court judge, Walter Nixon, who appealed the Senate's impeachment ruling to the US Supreme Court.In that case, the Court determined that impeachment proceedings are non-justiciable, and are political matters, or the province of Congress. The 1993 Nixon case set a formal precedent preventing impeached officials from appealing their impeachment in court.William Rehnquist wrote the opinion of a unanimous Court. Justices Stevens, White and Souter wrote concurring opinions.
Is court precedent mandatory or persuasive?
That depends on which court you're referring to. In the federal court system, the US Supreme Court sets binding (or mandatory) precedent for all lower courts; the US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts set binding precedent for all US District Courts within their jurisdiction, but only persuasive precedent elsewhere; the US District Courts do not set binding precedent at all, they only set persuasive precedent.
What is an example of a precedent in relation to interpreting law?

Can an interim order of the US Supreme Court set precedent?
No. An interim order is intended to be temporary, until the final ruling is made, and cannot be used as a precedent. If the final decision is made Per Curiam (unsigned by the Court), it can't be used as a precedent, either. Only a final, signed decision with no restrictions (such as in Bush v. Gore, (2000), where the Court narrowly applied their ruling to the instant case only) can be cited in case law.
Can a federal official who has been impeached and removed from office appeal this decision to the US Supreme Court?
No. Impeachment isn't a legal proceeding, but a political process used to remove an official from public office. The Constitution gave exclusive authority over impeachment to Congress, the Legislative branch of government. The US Supreme Court has no authority or jurisdiction over such matters.This question was explored in Nixon v. United States, 506 US 224 (1993) [No relation to former US President Richard Nixon, see United States v. Nixon, (1974)]. An impeached Mississippi US District Court judge, Walter Nixon, appealed the Senate's impeachment ruling to the US Supreme Court. The Court held that impeachment proceedings are non-justiciable, and are political matters, or the province of Congress. The 1993 Nixon case set a formal precedent preventing officials from appealing their impeachment in court.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
