Recent events have threatened the balance of powers enshrined in our Constitution by granting unfounded immunity to former presidents for criminal acts committed while in office. The No Kings Act rightly affirms that no one is above the law and reasserts Congressional authority to determine the scope of criminal laws applying equally to all citizens, including current and former presidents and vice presidents. This legislation is a critical safeguard against the Supreme Court's concerning overreach in Trump v. United States, which disregarded clear historical precedent and the Founders' rejection of royalist privilege. As Alexander Hamilton wrote, the President must be "amenable to personal punishment and disgrace" if violating the law - a stark contrast to the inviolable monarchs of old. By stripping away any presumption of immunity and limiting judicial review over such matters, the No Kings Act upholds the foundational principle that ours is a nation of laws, not men. It protects the integrity of the criminal justice system and the ability to hold all individuals accountable, no matter how powerful. I urge you to support the No Kings Act and reaffirm the system of checks and balances that shields American democracy from the creep of authoritarian rule. A vote for this bill is a vote to preserve justice, equality, and constitutional order for all.
