Abstract

The article focuses on the implications of the Supreme Court's decision in Trump v. United States, which significantly alters the legal landscape regarding presidential immunity and accountability. It argues that this ruling, along with previous decisions, reflects a shift towards protecting political figures like former U.S. president Donald Trump from legal consequences and undermines democratic principles by potentially placing the presidency above the law.
