Focusing on those opinions, the book examines the constitutional basis of presidential immunity, both textual and historical, as reflected in the deliberations of the 1787 Convention and the ratification debates. The opinions are viewed in the context of the criminal investigations of Presidents Nixon and Clinton that gave rise to those opinions, as well as the pronouncements of the Supreme Court concerning their claims, and those of President Trump to immunity from judicial inquiry. Lastly, the book analyses presidential immunity in light of the separation of powers, the availability of impeachment, and the discordance between presidential immunity and the rule of law. 650 0 $a Presidents $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z United States. 650 0 $a Privileges and immunities. 650 0 $a Executive power $z United States. 650 0 $a Constitutional law $z United States. 650 0 $a Prosecution. 650 6 $a Privileges et immunites. 650 6 $a Pouvoir executif $z Etats-Unis. 650 6 $a Poursuites judiciaires. 650 7 $a Constitutional law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00875797 650 7 $a Executive power. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00917857 650 7 $a Presidents $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01075778 650 7 $a Privileges and immunities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01077674 650 7 $a Prosecution. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01079361 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Informational works. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Documents d'information. $2 rvmgf 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9783030813734 830 0 $a Evolving American presidency. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021021601.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5AE5072ADCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
