There is a CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS and you are asleep at the wheel

To: Sen. Schiff, Rep. McClintock, Sen. Padilla

From: A constituent in Modesto, CA

April 15

Why are you letting Trump stomp all over the Constitution?! He has ignored the SUPREME COURT! NO PRESIDENT CAN DO THAT! His Executive Orders written without Congress already defy the Constitution but ignoring a direct order is cause for Impeachment. Get him out of there! He declares an economic emergency—then manufactures one—which allows him to expand his executive power. Under the National Emergencies Act (NEA), the president can unlock more than 120 special statutory powers. No wonder he was just out golfing—crisis pays. People-CITIZENS AND THOSE HERE LEGALLY- are being picked up of the street, dragged from cars, grabbed from their homes, and they disappear! What is going on?! These tariffs need to end—but Congress blocked America from having a say. The House of Representatives used a procedural loophole to delay a vote on President Trump’s tariff actions. Under the National Emergencies Act (NEA), Congress can terminate a presidentially declared national emergency through a joint resolution, which must be voted on within 18 calendar days. But to sidestep that requirement, the House redefined how it counts calendar days, effectively pausing the clock and halting the mandatory vote to end the emergency that justifies the tariffs. Stand up to him already! You took oaths to defend the Constitution! PROTECT THE CONSTITUTION! GET TRUMP AND HIS CRONIES OUT OF OFFICE! You are complicit in letting our Country be destroyed!
