The Supreme Court has just declared that criminal law doesn't apply when you're Donald Trump – or any other president using the powers of the office. Presidents who use their official powers to commit crimes are now presumptively immune from criminal accountability – even after they leave office.

That means a president could commit absolute atrocities in office – turning the Armed Forces against political opponents, using the Justice Department to investigate or prosecute critics of the president, or worse – and as long as their actions are "official," they'll be immune from criminal prosecution.

We cannot let this ruling stand – so we're calling on Congress to pass a constitutional amendment overturning it.

Inaction from Congress (or the people) at this moment is unacceptable. If our representatives cannot act now – when the Supreme Court has just presented our democracy with an immediate existential threat – then they cannot legislate at all.

Tell Congress: Pass a constitutional amendment restoring presidential liability – because those who criminally abuse the office must be held accountable. No one is above the law: We elect presidents, NOT kings.

Subject:

No Kings in America: Pass a Constitutional Amendment Now

Body:

The Supreme Court ruling immunizing former President Donald Trump against any criminal responsibility for official acts in violation of criminal law is egregious. We cannot allow anyone elected president to commit crimes without criminal liability. A president who knows they can commit crimes with impunity is dangerous. We must be able to hold our elected officials accountable.

As your constituent, I'm calling on you – and all of Congress – to pass a constitutional amendment as quickly as possible restoring checks and balances to our government and reining in this extreme expansion of presidential power.

Congress must act now to pass a constitutional amendment reestablishing criminal accountability for the president.

Sincerely,

[First Name] [Last Name]
