The president is not above the law [Add Your Name]

[Sign Congressman Adam Schiff's petition to support legislation to prevent Trump from abusing his pardon power.]( [ADD YOUR NAME]( --------------------------------------------------------------- Friend, The Constitution gives the president the power to grant pardons, and while that power can be used to correct an injustice or give a second chance, there are disturbing indications that President Trump could use it to obstruct investigations involving him and his family. With so many of his close associates facing jail time, including his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, there’s a real risk the President could try to protect himself by dangling, promising or issuing pardons. That’s why I just introduced the Abuse of the Pardon Prevention Act, legislation to prevent this president, or any president, from abusing the pardon for their own personal benefit or to obstruct justice. My bill would ensure that if the president issued a pardon in a case involving him or his family, the entire investigative files would be turned over to Congress, so that a cover-up wouldn’t succeed. [Add your name alongside mine in support of this bill to hold the president accountable.]( [ADD YOUR NAME]( Now that Special Counsel Robert Mueller has completed his investigation, Congress needs to act immediately. It’s up to us to make sure Trump doesn’t get away with abusing the pardon and undermining the rule of law, and it starts with passing this bill. [Add your name today to show Congress that you want this legislation passed to prevent abuse of the pardon.]( [ADD YOUR NAME]( Thanks, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) Paid for by Adam Schiff for Congress.
