Friend –

ACLU Supporter, the RNC is just days away – where the Republican Party will officially present their platform and confirm their nominee for president – with the DNC soon to follow. And thanks to the Supreme Court, both candidates know they can now use their powers to break the law without fear of criminal prosecution.

With one ruling, the Court gave the president the ability to use their elected office to break the law with impunity – overruling centuries of precedent. We've been fighting to reverse this destructive order ever since.

Congress could pass a constitutional amendment overturning this decision and establish once and for all that presidents are not above the law. Yet in the two weeks since this ruling dropped, Congress has refused to act.

But thousands of your fellow ACLU supporters have acted – sending over 100,000 messages to Congress demanding they take bold action to repair the Supreme Court's mistake. Join them and tell Congress: Inaction is not an option. We must overturn this decision by passing a constitutional amendment today.

The Court's decision to grant unprecedented immunity from criminal legal consequences leaves our country vulnerable to rising authoritarianism and puts our democracy at risk. Future presidents could use their new powers to weaponize the government against anyone they disagree with – from political rivals to everyday critics to you.

Now is not the time to sit back and express dismay. Our representatives need to do their job and pass a constitutional amendment immediately.

Join us: Tell Congress to take action today.

–The ACLU Team
