In this episode, Professor John Yoo of Berkeley Law School and Smita Ghosh of the Constitutional Accountability Center join Jeffrey Rosen to preview the arguments in the case, review the founders’ views on executive immunity, and discuss how the Court might decide this crucial case.

The Impeachment Process only relates to the House charging a President for "high crimes and misdemeanors" and the Senate decides whether a President is guilty or not guilty. A verdict of guilty takes 2/3rds of the Senate. However, a high crime and misdemeanor is "whatever a majority of the House says at a particular moment in history." Technically, a majority of the House with the concurrence of 2/3rds of the Senate, can define a "high crime" as littering to an official of the Executive Branch or The Judicial Branch. A President is immune from prosecution for things done, during his/her Presidency, while in office. However, a President is NOT immune from prosecution for actions done before taking office. Also, an Ex-President doesn't have "absolute immunity" from actions taken during his/her Presidency, unless a subsequent President issues a "blank pardon". B
