Top Dem Reintroduces Presidential Accountability Amendment with 130+ Original Cosponsors

Today, Rep. Joe Morelle (NY-25), the top Democrat on the Committee on House Administration, reintroduced his Presidential Accountability Amendment to the United States Constitution with over 60% of th...

Just over a year ago, SCOTUS handed down a disastrous ruling giving presidents absolute immunity from criminal prosecution. Today, I reintroduced my constitutional amendment to make sure presidents are held accountable under the law.

Today's Committee on House Administration hearing was called by my Republican colleagues to create an illusion of election oversight while they attempt to make the case to purge eligible voters from voter lists under the guise of ‘election security'.

Our children and grandchildren deserve access to clean air & water, parks, and museums. We're on the verge of losing our nation's natural wonders to Republican cuts. Watch me fight back alongside @democrats-appropriations.house.gov:

Grateful to join Bryan Fair, interim President of @splcenter.org to discuss our shared work to safeguard voters' rights across the country. As top democrat on the Committee on House Admin., I'll keep fighting to ensure every American has the right to vote confidently in free and fair elections.

Education is opportunity. But the Republican budget slams the door on young people trying to build a better future. We should be opening doors—not holding them closed.

We cannot allow funding cuts proposed by the Trump administration and House Republicans to decimate our country's competitiveness.

56 years ago, Neil Armstrong became the first person to step onto the Moon's surface cementing America as a global leader in innovation. Today, that leadership is being threatened by cuts to research and education programs that will leave our children in second place.

The Trump administration's chaotic and unpredictable trade policies continue to put our economy at risk. Families are already paying too much trying to make ends meet—rising prices are a burden they can't take.

177 years ago, trailblazers like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott met at the first Woman's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls just outside of #ROC. I'm proud continue the fight to secure access to the ballot box for all eligible Americans.

Trump's budget includes $200 billion in cuts to SNAP, and a shift in cost-sharing that could force some states to shut down SNAP entirely. Families won't just get less—they could get nothing.

Looking back on my time working with my friend and colleague John Lewis helps remind me why I’m here and just how important making good trouble is.

Invest in working families! While the cost of living continues to rise, the Trump administration would rather give handouts for billionaires than prioritize affordability and the resources American families need to thrive.

CONGRESSMAN JOE MORELLE AGAIN DENOUNCES REPUBLICANS’ VOTE TO SLASH PUBLIC EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING

(Washington, D.C.)—Today, Congressman Joe Morelle denounced House Republicans for passing Donald Trump’s rescissions package, which cancels roughly $9 billion in previously approved funding for essent...

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJul 18(source)

Once again, House Republicans are rubber-stamping reckless and cruel spending cuts that will have a direct impact on communities like ours.

Ripping away free educational resources like Sesame Street does nothing to improve the lives of our children and does not move us any closer to solving the real challenges our families face. My Republican colleagues need to stop bending the knee to Donald Trump and start standing up and standing with Democrats to protect the programs, resources, and fundamental rights Americans rely on.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJul 17(source)

Today marks five years since we lost a good friend and incredible advocate for the American people, Congressman John Lewis. We honor his memory by continuing the fight he and so many others have bravely fought to ensure every eligible American voter's access to the ballot box.

Everyone deserves the American Dream.

As the Founder and Co-Chair of the Optics and Photonics Caucus, I’m proud to continue advocating for increased government investment in quantum. It is Congress’ responsibility to work across the aisle to maintain America’s leadership in this space.
