In the wake of the Supreme Court’s ruling in Trump v. United States granting a president immunity from criminal prosecution for conduct within his “core constitutional powers” and for other “official acts,” two characteristics of the ruling are plain: neither the text of the Constitution nor the history of the drafting and ratification of the Constitution played any role in the decision.
This presidential immunity is a judicial creation which rejects the text of the Constitution and disregards one of the principal reasons publicly advanced for its ratification by the states: a President is subject to indictment and criminal prosecution.
