Supreme Court Decision on Presidential Immunity

The Supreme Court released a decision regarding presidential immunity rooted in a lawsuit filed by Donald Trump to stop various lawsuits against him. The court found that while the President is not immune from all criminal prosecution, there are activities for which he has immunity to ensure the functioning of the executive branch. Core official acts enjoy absolute immunity, such as issuing pardons or firing executive branch employees, while other official actions carry presumptive immunity that can be demonstrated to be overcome by prosecution.
