Friend,

Just days before our nation celebrated its Independence Day, the Supreme
Court granted powers to the president usually reserved for the likes of a
king—and less like a leader who serves at the will of the people. In Trump
v. United States, the Supreme Court ruled that the President has immunity
from criminal prosecution for actions he or she takes that are considered
a part of their “official duties.”

Thankfully, Rep. Joe Morelle (D-NY-25) recently introduced a
constitutional amendment to restore accountability for lawbreaking
presidents. It also ensures that presidents cannot pardon themselves when
charged with a crime.

No president should have immunity, least of all Donald Trump—convicted
felon on 34 counts, with other cases still pending.

What this means for Trump is still playing out in the courts now to see
whether we still have the ability to hold him accountable in a court of
law for any crimes he may have committed: financial, electoral, and
mishandling of documents. Trump as you might expect sees things very
differently, posting on Truth Social just last week that the Supreme
Court’s ruling shields him from all of the alleged “witch hunts”:

It’s crucial for Congress to act quickly to ensure that Trump cannot
exploit the blatantly unconstitutional notion of presidential immunity.

An added benefit, is that this amendment goes beyond Donald Trump to
ensure that others complicit in unlawful acts are also held accountable.

protect our democracy and ensure justice under the law.>>

The American people expect our leaders to be held to the same standard we
hold for any member of our communities. Presidents are not monarchs, they
are not tyrants, and they should not be immune from prosecution when they
illegally abuse their power.

Thank you for your advocacy on this important issue.
