Schumer plans to strip former President Trump of presidential immunity

Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) announced Monday that he and other Senate Democrats will work to advance legislation to strip former President Trump of the immunity he was granted under a recent Supreme Court ruling protecting a president’s official acts from criminal prosecution.

Schumer, invoking Congress’s powers to regulate the courts, said Democrats are working on legislation to classify Trump’s efforts to subvert the results of the 2020 election as “unofficial acts” so they do not merit immunity from criminal prosecution under the high court’s recent 6-3 decision.

“They incorrectly declared that former President Trump enjoys broad immunity from criminal prosecution for actions he took while in office. They incorrectly declared that all future presidents are entitled to a breathtaking level of immunity so long as their conduct is ostensibly carried out in their official capacity as president,” Schumer said on the Senate floor.

Schumer said the court’s conservative justices had “effectively placed a crown on Donald Trump’s head,” putting him above the law and making him “in many ways untouchable.”

Comment:
The Democrat Party is a dangerous totalitarian cult.
Schumer will have to amend the constitution if he wants to strip presidents of immunity.
The Dirty Democrats can't win on the issues, so they are attempting win by arresting Trump on bogus indictments.
They are as corrupt as a banana republic junta.
They are not saving "democracy", they are destroying it.

Shades of Reid abolishing the filibuster on judicial nominees. This shit always comes back to bite them in the ass.

You never cease to astound with how illogical you can be.

It's illogical to make unsubstantial claims but here you are doing it. I've produced videos showing capitol police allowing people to enter unlocked entryway doors.

1. The House is the LEGISLATIVE body, not the Senate, so how does Chucky presume to enact legislation?
2. The Senate is half of Congress, a co-equal branch to the SC, so how do they intend to nullify the SC's rulings?
3. The SC ruling applies not to Trump but ALL presidents. And the immunity only applies to "official" acts delineated as CORE CONSTITUTIONAL DUTIES as outlined IN the Constitution.
4. If the SC does this to Trump, then the GOP can delineate anything they want as criminal against Biden. Except the GOP hasn't the stones to do anything but piss and moan.

A bill can originate in either the Senate or the House but it has to pass both before the President can sign it into law. No way in hell Schumer would get that one past the House. I doubt Mike Johnson would even bring it up for a vote and it is unlikely any Republican would pressure him to do so.

As usual, the DumboCrats want to change laws (or create new ones) to suit their personal whims and petty grievances. If Schumer is successful then Clinton, Obama, and Biden better flee the country before their presidential immunity runs dry.
