Doesn’t the recent Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity violate the Impeachment Provisions of the Constitution Article III Section 4 by giving the president immunity from things that would have been previously classified as impeachable ? Would not such a change to the Constitution require an amendment ? If so, what can be done about it ?
A president can still be impeached for various high crimes and misdemeanors. But after the Supreme Court's ruling, the president can no longer be convicted for many impeachable offenses, even after impeachment. As for what can be done about it, convince the court to change their mind, appoint different justices, or try to pass a constitutional amendment.
