A little over a year ago, the Supreme Court issued a profoundly misguided ruling that gives U.S. presidents sweeping power to break the law — even knowingly and intentionally — with no criminal repercussions.

Because the court’s decision in Donald Trump’s immunity case is based on the U.S. Constitution, a constitutional amendment is the only surefire way to overturn it.

And overturn it we must.

No president should have anything close to the kind of immunity the Supreme Court has conferred on the office. Not Donald Trump. Not Joe Biden. Not Barack Obama. Not anyone who holds the office. Not ever.

• Winning a constitutional amendment will not be easy. It is not supposed to be easy. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try.

• It will take time. There will be moments where it seems like nothing is happening. We may very well find ourselves in “one step forward, two steps back” territory along the way.

• Big progress is always incremental. Painstaking. Maybe downright tedious. That’s the work we have to do if we want important things.

• That’s why we are asking you to take action — even if you’ve taken action before.

A resolution was just introduced in Congress for a constitutional amendment declaring that no president is above the law.

Right now, to build momentum, we need to get as many members of Congress as possible on record in support of this “No Kings” amendment.

Tell every senator and representative:

We urge you to support the “No Kings” constitutional amendment that would overturn the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling and restore the foundational principle that no one — including and especially not the president of the United States — is above the law.

Thanks for taking action.
