The top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee is pushing back against the Supreme Court’s recent presidential immunity ruling, suggesting Democrats are eyeing ways to limit former President Trump’s abilities that were expanded by the high court’s decision.
"It is up to Congress, the representative branch of the people, to defend the constitutional order against presidents who would trample the freedoms of the people," Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., said at a press conference alongside former GOP Rep. Joe Walsh.
"This declaration is about protecting the freedoms of the people by closing statutory loopholes that could allow a president to exploit the executive power to trample constitutional freedom and liberty."
He’s helping to spearhead an effort urging members of Congress on both sides of the aisle to sign a "No Dictators Declaration."
