Congress Must Act To SAVE DEMOCRACY!!!

I am writing to you in deep concern for the future of our democracy in the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent rulings regarding birthright citizenship, the powers of federal judges, and presidential immunity. These decisions have dramatically shifted the balance of power in our government, enabling a dangerous concentration of authority in the executive branch and threatening constitutional rights that have defined America for generations. The ruling permitting a president to curtail birthright citizenship—an explicit guarantee under the Fourteenth Amendment—while simultaneously limiting federal courts from issuing nationwide injunctions against unconstitutional actions, undermines the judiciary’s role as a critical check on executive overreach. Even more alarming is the Court’s expansion of presidential immunity for “official acts,” creating the real risk that a president could act above the law with little fear of consequence. These developments mark a perilous step toward authoritarianism. If left unchecked, the United States could face a future where rights are protected only for the few who can afford to litigate, and where the president exercises unprecedented power without meaningful oversight. Congress has both the authority and the duty to defend our Constitution and the American system of checks and balances. I urge you to act swiftly by: • Passing legislation or amendments to reaffirm and clarify the birthright citizenship guarantee of the Fourteenth Amendment. • Enacting laws to explicitly empower federal courts to grant nationwide relief when fundamental rights are threatened. • Revisiting and clarifying the scope of presidential immunity, ensuring that no president is above the law—before, during, or after office. • Strengthening oversight of executive actions to prevent abuse and ensure accountability. I call on you to unite across party lines and uphold your oath to protect and defend the Constitution. The eyes of history are upon this Congress. Please act now to restore and preserve American democracy for future generations!
