On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that former presidents, including Donald J. Trump, are entitled to immunity from federal prosecution for official acts within their exclusive constitutional authority. This landmark decision grants absolute immunity for such acts and “at least presumptive immunity” for all official acts, while excluding unofficial acts. The ruling clarifies the limits of presidential immunity, influencing the balance of powers and accountability. Originating from legal challenges against Trump, the case emphasizes that the President’s constitutional powers are protected from prosecution, ensuring executive independence while sparking debate on presidential power and accountability.
