An Open Letter

To: Rep. Roy, Sen. Cruz, Sen. Cornyn

From: A verified voter in San Antonio, TX

January 19

I am writing to formally urge you to support the invocation of the 25th Amendment to the United States Constitution in order to protect American lives, preserve democratic stability, and prevent irreversible harm to U.S. national security. Recent statements and actions attributed to the President—including threats of “complete and total control” over allied sovereign territory, dismissal of established international law, and rhetoric that risks destabilizing NATO and global security—raise serious concerns about the President’s ability to discharge the powers and duties of the office in a manner consistent with constitutional responsibility and public safety. The 25th Amendment exists precisely for moments like this: not as a political weapon, but as a constitutional safeguard when a President’s conduct poses a credible risk to the nation, its alliances, and its people. This request is not about policy disagreement. It is about: -Preventing unnecessary military escalation -Protecting American service members and civilians -Preserving alliance-based deterrence and global stability -Upholding Congress’s sworn duty to act when executive behavior becomes dangerous Words spoken from the highest office in the world are not hypothetical. They influence troop readiness, diplomatic posture, market stability, and adversarial calculations. When those words suggest coercive territorial expansion or dismiss long-standing legal norms, Congress has an obligation to intervene. I urge you to: -Publicly acknowledge the seriousness of the current risk -Support immediate evaluation under the 25th Amendment -Place constitutional duty and public safety above party loyalty -Act before rhetoric becomes irreversible action History will not judge Congress by its caution in moments of danger, but by whether it chose courage when restraint was no longer sufficient.
