Presidential Immunity: Trump v. United States

Join us for an insightful presentation featuring Attorney Rod Smolla, President of Vermont Law School, hosted by the League of Women Voters in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library. Smolla will examine the recent Supreme Court decision granting near-total legal immunity to the President of the United States for actions taken in official capacity, while also addressing the potential for former presidents to face prosecution for unofficial acts committed while in office.

This presentation will explore the constitutional framework of the separation of powers and the implications of this significant legal precedent for presidential accountability. Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen your understanding of a pivotal issue in constitutional law!

This program will take place on Zoom.
