On August 1st, the majority leader of the US Senate, Chuck Schumer, along with several Democratic senators, presented a bill aimed at challenging the recent Supreme Court ruling concerning former President Donald Trump’s presidential immunity. The core of this bill involves revoking the immunity of the President and Vice-President from federal criminal offenses while in office, and clearly states that the department responsible for determining the application of federal criminal law is Congress, not the Supreme Court. This move responds to the Supreme Court's July 1st decision, which held that Trump had some level of immunity from criminal prosecution in federal cases involving 'interference in the 2020 election', and required lower courts to reassess the case to define what constitutes an ‘official act’ that is not subject to prosecution.
