Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced on Monday that Senate Democrats will work on a bill to limit presidential immunity.Some legal commentators have suggested that Democrats cannot override the Supreme Court and that any act passed will have no legal effect.
''One way to attempt it is to include negative language in legislation—generic or specific language that says what the president may not do using the powers in the particular legislation,' Gillers said.The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on July 1 that presidents have broad immunity for official acts.
