An open letter to the U.S. Congress

NO rescissions. No senate consent. Stop impoundment. House: start impeachment

230 so far! Help us get to 250 signers!

Impeach Trump for illegal impoundment. NO to more rescissions . Stop permitting Trump to illegally impound appropriated funds. Do your job, defend the constitution. Remember the laws as. Constitution: Under the Impoundment Control Act, the failure of Congress to affirmatively approve a rescission request means that the president must disburse the money appropriated by Congress. See Congressional Research Service, The Impoundment Control Act of 1974: Background and Congressional Consideration of Rescissions. (“Funds withheld under this authority must be released . . . unless Congress has completed action on a bill to rescind the budget authority.” Trump is continuously violating the Constitution by withholding funds without seeking rescission authority under the Impoundment Control Act. The remedy should be impeachment, conviction, and removal from office. But because Republicans will not hold Trump accountable for his ongoing violation of the Constitution, Democrats should withhold their consent to spending bills until Trump begins to comply with the Constitution. No consent on spending bills while Trump defies the constitution. Begin impeachment now. Everyday you fail to impeach you betray your solemn oath to the constitution.
