I’m concerned about the implications of the recent Trump v. United States decision, as well as the earlier Nixon v. Fitzgerald. See Wikipedia for an overview.

It’s my view that “absolute immunity” is a concept that has no place in a republic. Given that, I thought I’d try my hand at a possible “fix” and put it up for discussion. What would be the pros and cons of this approach?

Amendment __

Section 1. Officers and elected officials of the United States have no absolute immunity from prosecution.

Section 2. The communications of officers and elected officials of the United States shall be presumed admissible as evidence in court.
