Summary of Bill HJRES 193
Bill 118 hjres 193 proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the United States that would eliminate immunity from criminal prosecution for individuals based on the argument that their actions were within their constitutional authority or official duties.

Overall, this amendment aims to hold government officials accountable for their actions and ensure that they are subject to the same laws and consequences as any other citizen. It seeks to prevent abuse of power and ensure that those in positions of authority are held to the same standards of justice as everyone else.
