Senator Schumer advanced a bill called “No Kings Act” intending to strip Donald Trump’s immunity as well as that of other presidents. Schumer argued that the Supreme Court’s ruling regarding presidential immunity was “dangerous and devastating.” Schumer also claimed that the “MAGA Supreme Court” subverted the will of the American people.<\/p>\n

From Fox News:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“The MAGA Supreme Court has once again subverted the will of the American people, and the very idea of democracy itself,” he added.<\/p>\n

“The Founders were explicit — no man in America shall be a king. Yet, in their disastrous decision, the Supreme Court threw out centuries of precedent and anointed Trump and subsequent presidents as kings above the law. Given the dangerous and consequential implications of the Court’s ruling, legislation would be the fastest and most efficient method to correcting the grave precedent the Trump ruling presented. With this glaring and partisan overreach, Congress has an obligation — and a constitutional authority — to act as a check and balance to the judicial branch.”<\/p>\n

The legislation was backed by 34 Democratic co-sponsors. Vulnerable incumbent Democratic Sens. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania and Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin were among those who joined the measure.<\/p>\n

Biden’s recent Supreme Court proposal also included requests for justice term limits and an enforceable code of ethics.<\/p>\n

After the president’s announcement, Schumer praised the proposed overhaul. “I am particularly pleased President Biden called for undoing the damage of the Court’s recent immunity decision,” the leader said earlier this week.<\/p>\n

Schumer foreshadowed the No Kings Act, remarking, “An option I am considering is drawing up legislation clarifying that the President is not immune from violations of federal law.”<\/p>\n

The measure would declare that there is no legal immunity for former presidents or vice presidents that violate the law while in office or in an official capacity, as Schumer previewed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
