Idagdag ang Iyong Pangalan: Walang Higit sa Batas
Walang sinuman ang higit sa batas, kabilang si Donald Trump.
Ngunit ang delikadong presidential immunity na desisyon ng Korte Suprema ay naglalagay sa prinsipyong iyon sa panganib at sumasalungat sa pananagutan, tuntunin ng batas, at sa ating Konstitusyon.
Ang Kongreso ay dapat magpasa ng isang susog sa konstitusyon upang permanenteng ideklara na walang Amerikano ang higit sa batas - kahit na ang mga dating pangulo - at ipagbawal ang mga pangulo na patawarin ang kanilang sarili.
After losing the 2020 election, former President Donald Trump said “It doesn’t matter if you won or lost the election. You still have to fight like hell.” [1]
Does this sound like an “official” act of the presidency to you?
This shocking quote comes from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s newly unsealed evidence, which challenges the Supreme Court’s dangerous ruling on presidential immunity and confirms what we know: presidents shouldn’t have a blank check to try and overturn the will of the voters. [1]
But here’s the good news: with Common Cause’s support, Rep. Joe Morelle has introduced a constitutional amendment that will ng tuluyan ipahayag na walang Amerikano ang higit sa batas – not even former presidents – and prohibit presidents from pardoning themselves. [2]
This is a chance to right the Supreme Court’s wrong. Add your name if you agree: Attempting to overturn an election is not an “official” act of the president. No one is above the law, including Donald Trump.
