An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress

Biden’s Pardons Must Stand

2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

Donald Trump's claim that he can void President Biden's pardons is baseless and unconstitutional. The president's ability to grant pardons is an established constitutional power that cannot be unilaterally revoked by a former president or any other individual. Trump's warning to his "enemies" demonstrates a complete disregard for the rule of law and the separation of powers. We must firmly reject such inflammatory rhetoric and unfounded assertions that undermine our democratic institutions. The independence of the executive branch's pardon power from political interference is a cornerstone of our system of checks and balances. Safeguarding this principle is essential to upholding justice and preventing the abuse of authority. Trump's statement demands a forceful response reaffirming our commitment to constitutional governance and the peaceful transfer of power. His attempt to subvert the lawful exercise of presidential pardons through threats and false claims poses a grave danger to our republic. It is crucial that we decisively defend the integrity of our democratic processes against such reckless attacks.
