Schumer Introduces Bill Limiting Presidential Immunity
News summary

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is set to introduce the No Kings Act, which aims to explicitly state that presidents do not have immunity for criminal conduct, counteracting a recent Supreme Court ruling that granted Donald Trump broad immunity for actions taken while in office. The legislation, supported by over two dozen Democratic senators, asserts that Congress, not the Supreme Court, holds the authority to determine who is subject to federal criminal laws. President Joe Biden has called for a constitutional amendment to limit presidential immunity and reform the judicial system, emphasizing that this aligns with the foundational principle of equality before the law. The Supreme Court's ruling has raised concerns among Democrats, particularly regarding its implications for ongoing legal challenges against Trump. However, the bill faces significant opposition from Senate Republicans, making its passage unlikely. The discussions surrounding this legislation highlight the ongoing tensions between the legislative and judicial branches in the context of presidential accountability.
