Demanding restoration of the Constitutional order

Whereas the executive branch led by President Donald Trump oversteps its Constitutional authority, notably usurping Congress’ power to spend by illegally attempting to block federally appropriated funds; and

Whereas President Donald Trump blatantly contradicts the law of our Constitution through executive orders, such as illegally attempting to end birthright citizenship; and

Whereas President Donald Trump bypasses representative democracy through empowering people to non-existent, unelected positions; 

Therefore be it resolved that the 45th District Democrats of Washington demand Senator Patty Murray, Senator Maria Cantwell, Representative Suzan DelBene, and Representative Kim Schrier oppose key Congressional actions such as approving a budget, raising the debt limit, and approving nominees until Republican legislators join to reassert Congress’ authority; and

Therefore be it also resolved that the 45th District Democrats of Washington supports Senator Patty Murray, Senator Maria Cantwell, Representative Suzan DelBene, Representative Kim Schrier, Governor Bob Ferguson, and Attorney General Nick Brown in all efforts to obstruct authoritarianism and to restore the Constitutional order and rule of law; and

Therefore be it further resolved that the chair of the 45th District Democrats of Washington will send a copy of this resolution to Senator Patty Murray, Senator Maria Cantwell, Representative Suzan DelBene, Representative Kim Schrier, Governor Bob Ferguson, and Attorney General Nick Brown.
