WASHINGTON -- Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer introduced legislation Thursday reaffirming that presidents do not have immunity for criminal actions, an attempt to reverse the Supreme Court's landmark decision last month. Schumer's No Kings Act would attempt to invalidate the decision by declaring that presidents are not immune from criminal law and clarifying that Congress, not the Supreme Court, determines to whom federal criminal law is applied.

Very little actually surprises me anymore. Even something unexpected is generally within some range of possibility that I anticipated. The "No Kings Act," which was introduced today by Senate Majority Leader, surprised me. No, just not surprised. It stunned me. I was actually speechless. At a high level, the statute purports to reverse Trump v. United States, eliminate criminal presidential immunity (but not civil), and divests the Supreme Court of appellate jurisdiction over any prosecution of a former President, or even a challenge to the statute itself. Let's walk through...

It didn't take Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) long to respond to President Joe Biden's plans laid out to supposedly reform the U.S. Supreme Court. On Monday, Biden announced his plans to upend the Court, which he also addressed later that same day during his remarks at the LBJ Library. Sure enough, Schumer announced on Thursday that he would be introducing the No Kings Act in response to the Trump v. United States decision on presidential immunity. Schumer shared news of the bill from his X account. What he...

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-NY, mounted an endeavor on Thursday to reverse the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling giving sitting presidents legal immunity for official acts. The undertaking, by way of legislation dubbed the No Kings Act, comes in the wake of President Joe Biden pushing a series of changes for the high court, which include a constitutional amendment to undo former President Donald Trump being given immunity for official acts last month in the case against him for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Schumer maintained that Congress...

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-New York) announced Thursday his plan to introduce new legislation that would undercut the Supreme Court's recent immunity ruling. The act, if passed, would make clear that Congress has the authority to decide "to whom federal criminal laws may be applied," instead of the Supreme Court, according to the proposed legislation, NBC News reported. In response to a motion filed by Donald Trump's legal counsel, the Supreme Court ruled last month that the former president is entitled to "absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions...

Joe Biden issued his edict regarding how he wanted to "reform" the Supreme Court and Kamala Harris went all-in on ensorsing the idea, despite its blatantly unconstitutional nature. Now congressional Democrats are obediently scrambling to do as they are bidden and trying to craft some sort of legislation that would put handcuffs on the justices, particularly those nominated by Republican presidents. Chuck Schumer was the first out of the gate with a proposal and they came up with a doozy of a name for the bill. Called "The No Kings...

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., will introduce legislation Thursday reaffirming that presidents do not have immunity for criminal actions, an attempt to reverse the Supreme Court’s landmark decision last month. Schumer’s No Kings Act would attempt to invalidate the decision by declaring that presidents are not immune from criminal law and clarifying that Congress, not the Supreme Court, determines to whom federal criminal law is applied.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer rolled out legislation Thursday aimed at effectively nixing the Supreme Court’s landmark decision last month that granted presidents absolute immunity for official acts. Titled the “No Kings Act,” Schumer’s (D-NY) bill declares that presidents and vice presidents do not enjoy immunity if they infringe upon federal criminal law. “This bill would reaffirm that the President is not immune to legal accountability and remove the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction to hear appeals related to presidential immunity,” Schumer explained in a statement.
