Pence's secret ruling forges new ground for the vice presidency
Summary by NewsWall Apr 08 23
- This is because, contrary to popular belief, vice presidents are constitutionally required to serve as president of the Senate.
- And officers of Congress, such as lawmakers and their aides, have immunity based on a provision of the Constitution known as the "speech or debate" clause, which was intended to protect Congress from law enforcement inquiries related to their official duties.
- Vice presidents have long argued that they should have the same legal protections as Congress, but Boasberg's decision is the first time a court has granted the vice presidency so-called speech-or-debate immunity.
- However, immunity does not apply to purely "political" activities.
