Adam Schiff introduces bill to prevent presidents from dismissing charges against them

 Congressman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., introduced a bill on Friday that would serve as a counterpunch to a Supreme Court ruling stipulating that Donald Trump was immune from prosecution for official acts during his presidency.

Schiff dubbed his bill the Investigative Integrity Protection Act, and it requires a three-judge panel to determine whether a president, or anyone acting on his or her behalf, would be able to dismiss criminal charges against him- or herself.

If passed, the legislation would also require a court to determine whether an attorney general was appointed for the purpose of dismissing charges against a president, and the U.S. Department of Justice would be asked to investigate such allegations and report its findings to Congress.

“Several years ago, we witnessed alarming attempts by a sitting president to obstruct justice and evade accountability,” Schiff said in a statement announcing the introduction of the bill, which was co-sponsored by seven Democrats.

The bill appears to be a reaction to protests at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, and accusations that Trump sought to undermine the results of the 2020 election, which resulted in a legal case against him.

That case that was delayed with a Supreme Court ruling nearly three months ago stipulating that presidents are afforded criminal immunity for their official acts while in office, a decision that was widely derided by Democrats.

"On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease."
