I am writing today because I am deeply alarmed and frustrated by your continued silence and inaction as former President Donald Trump once again pushes for tariffs that have already been ruled illegal. These actions are not only economically damaging to American families and businesses, they are diplomatically destructive—alienating our allies, isolating the United States, and undermining the very principles of fair trade and international cooperation that we rely on.
I must ask you directly: why are you allowing this? Why is Congress—our legislative body, vested with the sole power to regulate commerce with foreign nations—standing by while Trump overreaches, abuses power, and disregards the Constitution? These tariffs are not only harmful, they are unconstitutional. And yet, you continue to let him operate as though he is above the law.
Do you know what the Constitution says? Have you forgotten your duties as our representatives in Washington? You swore an oath to uphold that document, not to serve as a rubber stamp for one man’s reckless whims. The Constitution is clear: Congress holds the power over trade. Not the Executive. Not Donald Trump. You cannot keep looking away while he destabilizes our economy and weakens America’s standing in the world.
The American people expect you to do your job. We expect you to check unlawful executive overreach. We expect you to put country, democracy, and the Constitution above political convenience.
So I will ask plainly: will you stand up to Trump’s illegal tariffs and protect both the rule of law and America’s global relationships, or will you continue to let him drag us further into economic chaos and international isolation?
The choice is yours, but history will remember your answer.
