USJF has submitted this amicus brief to the Supreme Court, in Trump v. United States, a case in which District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals rejected President Trump’s claims of presidential immunity. USJF is submitting this brief because it believes that the doctrine of absolute presidential immunity includes immunity from criminal prosecution for a President’s official acts. Specifically in this case, President Trump should have “immunity” from criminal prosecution because he cannot be charged with a crime relating to his official acts unless and until there is a post-impeachment conviction by the Senate, as provided for in Article I, section 3 of the Constitution. The remedy at law for a party questioning President Trump’s official actions was impeachment and conviction, otherwise he is subject to double jeopardy for his official acts. USJF will continue to advocate for the constitutional rights and civil liberties of all citizens, including the President.
