Request a constitutional amendment to ensure no one is above the law

We must uphold the principle that no one is above the law, including former presidents. Restoring public confidence in the impartial administration of justice is paramount. A constitutional amendment explicitly stating that former presidents do not have immunity from federal criminal indictments, trials, convictions or sentencing would reaffirm our nation's commitment to equal justice under the law. This amendment would reinforce the system of checks and balances, shielding the integrity of the judicial process from the undue influence of any one individual or administration. By enshrining this principle in the Constitution, we can safeguard the rule of law for generations to come. I urge you to support legislation calling for such an amendment via the Article V process. Protecting the credibility of our legal system is essential to preserving faith in our democratic institutions.
