On July 1, the Supreme Court ruled in a landmark decision by upholding presidential immunity with a 6-3 majority vote. This is a huge win for President Trump, the U.S. Constitution, and the American people.
The ruling states, “Under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of Presidential power entitles a former President to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority. And he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts. There is no immunity for unofficial acts.”
This case raised fundamental questions about executive and legal accountability while a president is serving in office.
This ruling has significant and historical implications for executive power in the United States, as it protects the president against politically motivated lawsuits.
President Trump has been facing numerous lawsuits, which he claims are politically motivated, including four counts related to the 2020 presidential election results.
This ruling is a win for President Trump because it means he cannot be sued for legal challenges related to his presidency while in office.
