An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Uphold rule of law, reject President's alarming stance

36 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

The President's statement that "He who saves his Country does not violate any Law" is deeply concerning and goes against the foundational principles of democracy and the rule of law. No individual, including the President, has the authority to unilaterally decide which laws to follow and which to disregard. Such a stance undermines the system of checks and balances and the separation of powers that are essential for preserving our freedoms and rights. The notion that the ends justify the means, or that the President can break laws in the name of "saving the country," is a dangerous path that history has shown leads to authoritarianism and the erosion of civil liberties. It is a slippery slope that starts with disregarding certain laws and can quickly escalate to undermining the entire legal system and democratic institutions. The United States is a nation of laws, and no one, not even the President, is above the law. This principle is fundamental to ensuring equality, justice, and the protection of individual rights. Allowing any person or institution to operate outside the bounds of the law sets a precedent that can be exploited by future administrations for their own agendas, ultimately weakening the foundations of our democracy. We must uphold the rule of law and hold all individuals, regardless of their position or power, accountable to the same set of laws. This is the only way to maintain a just and equitable society that values the rights and freedoms of all its citizens. Any attempt to circumvent or disregard the law, even under the guise of "saving the country," must be firmly rejected and challenged through proper legal and constitutional channels.
