Chuck Schumer Leads Charge On “No Kings Act” To Counter SCOTUS’ Presidential Immunity Ruling
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer introduced the "No Kings Act" to try and strip former President Trump and future presidents of broad immunity from prosecution for official acts.
The bill, supported by 34 Senate Democrats, comes in response to a recent Supreme Court decision granting Trump extensive immunity.
The legislation argues that presidents and vice presidents are not immune from federal criminal law violations and redirects constitutional challenges to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals instead of the Supreme Court.
While the bill has no realistic chance of passing due to Republican opposition, Schumer introduced it to protest the Supreme Court's ruling.
The proposed law would allow federal prosecutors to bring charges against a president or vice president in any U.S. district court or the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia
