The Supreme Court's summer decision interpreting the Constitution has given presidents broad immunity from federal criminal laws, raising concerns over Congress's ability to protect democracy.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer stated, "We have a very strong argument that Congress by statute can undo what the Supreme Court does," indicating a pushback against judicial supremacy.
The No Kings Act, introduced by Congress, aims to declare that no president is immune from criminal laws and strips the Supreme Court of jurisdiction over its constitutionality.
The act reflects a historic tradition where Congress reasserts its constitutional authority, ensuring that interpretations of fundamental law come from elected representatives, not unelected judges.
