In Trump Case, Justices Get Reminded Presidents Aren't Kings

Leadership Now's amicus brief in the Supreme Court case, Donald J. Trump v. United States of America, was featured in Law360's article “In Trump Case, Justices Get Reminded Presidents Aren't Kings.”

The article outlines how legal scholars and advocacy groups, including Leadership Now, are urging the Supreme Court to reject Trump's claim for absolute presidential immunity.

"The resultant loss of confidence and weakening of basic democratic guardrails would undermine economic growth by dampening investment, discouraging innovation, and irrevocably altering the fundamental rule-of-law expectations that have created and sustained a robust and growing American economy," Leadership Now said.”

Our brief makes the business case for why former President Trump must not be granted immunity from being prosecuted for potential criminal acts committed while President to subvert the results of the 2020 presidential election.
