Ritchie Torres Instagram – The Supreme Court has held that the President enjoys “absolute immunity” for officials acts within his “core constitutional powers” or “conclusive and preclusive authority”; “presumptive immunity” for remaining official acts; and no immunity for unofficial acts.
In assessing the nature and scope of presidential immunity from criminal prosecution, lower courts will have to (a) distinguish official acts from unofficial acts and (b) distinguish official acts that fall within the President’s “conclusive and preclusive authority” from official acts that fall outside of it. | Posted on 01/Jul/2024 20:39:09
