The "No Kings Act" introduced by Senators Reed, Whitehouse, Schumer, and over 30 colleagues seeks to address the troubling implications of the Supreme Court's ruling that granted broad immunity to former President Trump. This legislation reaffirms that no president is above the law and can be held accountable for criminal actions. The Act removes the Supreme Court's jurisdiction to hear appeals related to presidential immunity, allowing challenges to be heard by lower courts. It clarifies that Congress determines the scope of federal criminal laws, not the Supreme Court's partisan rulings. Passing this Act swiftly is crucial to restore checks and balances, prevent further erosion of democratic norms, and ensure no future president can operate without constitutional constraints or evade accountability for illegal acts committed in office. Upholding the principle that nobody is a king in America requires decisive congressional action to enshrine these protections into law.
