3. Chuck Schumer rolls out 'No Kings Act' to eliminate presidential immunity

Congress has the power to limit the jurisdiction of the SCOTUS and this act would reverse the SCOTUS ruling on presidential immunity and restrict the court's jurisdiction

The legislation, dubbed the "No Kings Act," would ensure that neither sitting nor former presidents and vice presidents are entitled to immunity from prosecution for alleged crimes. The bill has more than two dozen Democratic signers.

If it is passed, the legislation would make it clear that Congress has the power to determine “to whom federal criminal laws may be applied," not the Supreme Court, according to the bill's outline provided by Schumer's office.

In his statement explaining his reasoning for the legislation, Schumer called the Supreme Court's decision about Trump's immunity "disastrous," arguing that "the Supreme Court threw out centuries of precedent and anointed Trump and subsequent presidents as kings above the law."

Chief Justice John Roberts said in his majority opinion for the court that lower courts needed to determine through additional proceedings what Trump could face prosecution for.
