An Open Letter
To: Sen. McCormick
From: A verified voter in Pittsburgh, PA
January 12
Although I did not vote for you, I never thought you were stupid. Neither did I think you were willfully ignorant.
I suggest you take some time to re-read the Constitution, your oath of office and the mandate for Congress.
Congress is an EQUAL BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT.
Congress has the POWER OF THE PURSE.
Congress ALONE can DECLARE WAR.
I expect you to REMEMBER these things when Donald Trump invades or talks about invading and ‘running’ another country. And if/when a vote comes up in the Senate to place a check on Trump in these situations, I expect you to DO THAT!!!
And when Donald Trump decides to withhold Congress allocated funds from organizations and/or Blue States & Cities in order to blackmail them into obedience, I expect you to REMEMBER that Congress has the purse strings and can STOP TRUMP from mis-using his office to gain more power and control.
You were elected to represent American citizens, your constituents, fairly and in line with the Constitution. You were NOT ELECTED to be a shill for Donal Trump.
