BRIEF OF RETIRED FOUR-STAR ADMIRALS AND GENERALS, AND FORMER SECRETARIES OF THE U.S. ARMY, NAVY, AND AIR FORCE AS AMICI CURIAE IN SUPPORT OF RESPONDENT

'STATEMENT OF INTEREST

' Amici are retired four-star admirals and generals, and former secretaries of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. They served under each President from John F. Kennedy to Donald J. Trump. Amici are deeply interested in this case because presidential immunity from criminal prosecution would threaten the military’s role in American society, our nation’s constitutional order, and our national security. It also would have profoundly negative effects on military service members, who answer to the orders of the President as Commander-in-Chief. This submission is based on amici’s collective experience serving in and leading our military, as well as their collective interest in safeguarding our national security. Amici’s short biographies listed below only begin to describe their distinguished service to our country.'
