The Alleged Obama Coup Reveals the Absurdity of Presidential Immunity

UNITED STATES, JUL 24 – Senator Ted Cruz said presidential immunity protects official acts but does not cover alleged wrongdoing by Obama administration members under oath, amid calls for legal accountability.

  • On Wednesday, Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz appeared on Fox News to address Obama's immunity limits, disagreeing that a president has absolute immunity, Cruz said.
  • Last week, Gabbard revealed documents showing the Obama administration withheld a December 2016 Presidential Daily Briefing, and she urged Obama's prosecution over alleged probe weaponization.
  • The Supreme Court's 2024 Trump v. United States decision, Justice Sonia Sotomayor said, greatly expands presidential powers, applying to all presidents, not just Trump, the Wall Street Journal editorial board reminded.
  • Cruz noted that FDR and Truman could not be prosecuted for wartime decisions, citing Obama's drone strike on Anwar al-Awlaki as an official act barred from prosecution.
  • Despite the debate over presidential immunity, no charges have been filed yet against Obama or his allies, highlighting ongoing discussions about accountability and legal limits.
