Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is trying to effectively Reverse the Controversial Supreme Court Decision on Presidential Legal Immunity. The Supreme Court asked the Appeals Court to define Presidential Acts and Non-Presidential Acts.
The No Kings Act Legislation elevates the Democratic Party's Argument, that the fate of Democracy is at stake in the November Elections.
Schumer will introduce Legislation that would Reaffirm that Presidents and Vice-Presidents do Not have Legal Immunity from Actions that violate Federal Criminal Law.
"In a dangerous and devastating ruling, the MAGA Supreme Court has once again subverted the will of the American people, and the very idea of democracy itself," Schumer said in a Statement.
At least 28 other Democratic Senators have signed on to Co-Sponsor the Legislation.
Democrats have pointed to the Supreme Court Decision, as evidence that Trump is a Threat to Democratic Institutions, which is a Top Election Issue for the Party.
The Legislation would also Strip the Supreme Court of its Jurisdiction over Appeals that Challenge the Constitutionality of the Bill.
It would also establish additional Legal Guardrails, like allowing the Government to bring Criminal Charges against a President or Vice-President in any U.S. District Court.
Today, even if this Legislation were to miraculously Pass the Senate, it has No chance of Clearing the Republican-Controlled House in 2024.
This gives Democrats another Tool to use in their November Campaigns. And then see what 2025 Election Results determines Control of the the House & Senate.
