US Presidents are available 24/7/365 should need arise. But time spend sleeping, golfing, eating, showering, etc. is not "Official Duties" time. It's the latter that is key.

Careful what you are asking for. If you want 24/7 to always be "official" time, then he is always immune from prosecution.

His dinner was not Official Duties. Hence he could be prosecuted for it after his term ends. Unless you don't want him prosecuted then allow him time off from Official Duties.
