House Democrat Proposes Amendment to Reverse Supreme Court's Immunity Decision, Hold Former Presidents Accountable for Criminal Acts

A House Democrat is proposing a constitutional amendment to reverse the Supreme Court's recent ruling that former presidents have broad immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts. The constitutional amendment would need to go through Congress and be ratified by three-fourths U.S. states, a lengthy and difficult process. Supporters say the amendment is necessary to ensure no president is above the law and can be held accountable for criminal actions. Representative AOC announced her intention to file articles of impeachment against justices following a ruling she described as "an assault on American democracy."
