[ [link removed] ]Tell Congress: Pass the No President Is Above the Law Act

The petition to Congress reads:
"No president is above the law – especially not Trump. Pass H.R. 2678 to
pause any statute of limitation while a president is in office and ensure
that all Americans – including the president – can be held accountable for
their actions."

Dear John,

[ [link removed] ]Tell Congress: Pass the
No President Is Above the
Law Act

Trump just announced that he wants the border wall – and he wants it by
Election Day.^1

Trump is so intent on building his racist border wall that he is willing
to break the law for it. This week, Trump instructed officials to expedite
billions of dollars' worth of construction contracts, illegally seize
private land and neglect environmental protection – and promised to pardon
anyone who conspires with him.

House Democrats should be impeaching Trump to stop his reckless abuses of
executive power. But while we wait for them to get the courage to act,
there's something else we can do to make sure Trump is eventually held
accountable - build momentum for the No President is Above the Law Act.

The No President is Above the Law Act would pause the statute of
limitations for any federal offense committed by a sitting president so
they can be charged with crimes after the end of their tenure.^3 This
would make sure that no one – especially Trump – can evade the law or
being held accountable for their actions.

Special counsel Robert Mueller did not indict Trump of crimes committed
during the 2016 presidential election because of a long-standing
Department of Justice policy that states that a sitting president cannot
be charged with a federal crime.^2 That protects criminals like Trump when
they are in office. And since most federal criminal offenses carry a
five-year statute of limitations, if Trump is re-elected in 2020, he could
completely escape criminal charges, even though there is overwhelming
evidence of obstruction of justice and ongoing abuses of power.

While Republicans continue to shred our democracy in service of their
racist president and partisan agenda, we have to keep building public
demand for accountability and moral leadership. Can you help us build
momentum for the No President is Above the Law Act now?
