The Rule of Law

  • H. Lowell Brown

摘要

The cardinal precept of civic engagement since the establishment of the earliest English colonies in America is that of a government of laws and not men, in which all are equal before the law. This chapter discusses the implications of presidential immunity for the rule of law and in particular, that the immunity endorsed by the OLC and the proponents creates an exception to the rule of law that is unique to the President, elevating the President above everyone else, contrary to the foundational principle of our civic society.
