| Jan 14, 2021 at 17:29 | comment | added | Jörg W Mittag | @AzorAhai-him-: Parliamentary Immunity makes Members of Parliament immune to investigations, lawsuits, and prosecution from the Executive and Judicative, but they can still be investigated by investigative bodies (e.g. committees) of the Parliament they are serving in. | |
| Jan 14, 2021 at 17:04 | comment | added | Azor Ahai -him- | @JörgWMittag "Parliamentary" immunity applies to only the executive and judiciary? Isn't that everyone but "parliament"? As an aside, I don't think US immunity is revocable. | |
| Jan 14, 2021 at 14:21 | comment | added | Jörg W Mittag | I believe this is fairly common. In my country, legislators have Parliamentary Immunity, but a) that only applies to the Executive and the Judicative Branches, they can still be investigated and prosecuted by their own body, and b) their own body can vote to have their Immunity partially (with regards to a specific allegation or investigation, for example) or fully revoked. Also, punishment does not necessarily require a vote, usually the body in question passes regulation that imbues a certain group (elders, ethics committee, etc.) with such powers. | |
