When the president does it

A country cannot depend on every president choosing restraint.

Its safeguards must hold when one does not. But what happens when presidential immunity limits criminal accountability and Congress will not act?

In this week’s “This Matters,” Bill Britt examines Richard Nixon’s sweeping claim about presidential power, the Supreme Court’s ruling in Trump v. United States and the distance between breaking the law and answering for it.

The protection afforded one president passes to every president who follows. Someone you trust. Someone you fear.
