Jamie Raskin Reveals Disturbing Plot to Limit Trump’s Power if Elected President Again
Democrat establishment players like Rep. Jamie Raskin are scrambling to find ways to prevent former President Donald Trump from using his power should he win the 2024 election this November.
Raskin is now conspiring with former Illinois “Republican” Rep. Joe Walsh and a bipartisan coalition in a push to get lawmakers to sign on to a “No Dictators Declaration,” which aims to rein in the powers of the Oval Office, specifically following the Supreme Court’s decision to grant Trump broad immunity from prosecution.
During a press conference, Raskin emphasized the role of Congress in protecting “constitutional freedoms.”
“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,” Raskin said.
Raskin added: “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.”
“It’s got five main pillars to it – one, limiting the president’s power to declare bogus domestic and foreign emergencies to seize power and bypass congressional authority,” Raskin said of the legislation.
“Two, restricting the president’s ability to use the Insurrection Act to deploy the military domestically against the people,” he added,
“Three – preventing the adoption of partisan, personal and ideological loyalty tests, loyalty oaths and similar authoritarian measures designed to purge the professional civil service, and replace qualified workers with unqualified party loyalists and sycophants.”
“Four, ensuring that presidents who abuse their powers to commit crimes can be prosecuted like all other citizens.”
“Because no one is above the law in America, and those of us who aspire and attain to public office are nothing but the servants of the people.”
Raskin concluded:
“And fifth, constraining the president’s ability to use investigative and prosecutorial decisions and resources to pursue personal political vendettas against disfavored groups and perceived enemies of the president.”
The declaration seeks to impose new restrictions on a president’s ability to use military force or declare national emergencies.

How do we defend against Congress trampling on the Freedoms of the People?
They would have to have solid majority in Congress which clearly isn’t going to be reality for them. They’ll be lucky to still have their seats when the polls are closed.
So after the out and out abuse of Executive Orders and lawfare, they are now concerned. Got it!
Of course they are, he’s projecting what the evil dems have done for years, especially since BHO!
Interesting. Each of those elements of the proposed “declaration” are things Democrats and their leftist fellow travelers have been doing and/or using to attack Trump during their years in power.
You know Jack, we got Trump just where he wants us. If we pass these in Congress there’s no telling what will happen. Lots of people are going to go to jail. True story. He thinks he is smart, but we’ll show him we will not stand for tyranny, in ANY shape or form, or well you know, the thing.
Anyway, I’ve probably shouldn’t say everything I think I’ve shouldn’t have, grarglebifigigigle we’ll get him fired. For real man. No joke.
From the same ones that gave all their power to the White House to begin with because they are lazy and incompetent.
Jamie Raskin needs to be charged with Treason along with anyone who joins him if he pulls this stunt. The Death Penalty for Jamie Raskin and all who join him in their Treason against America.
The evil, corrupted, ‘never tell the truth’ dems have long ago all committed treason and they know it! Which is one reason they fear DJT and are doing everything possible to keep him out of the presidential race of 2024. Trump was once a truly ‘valued’ member of their “Elite Clubhouse” but not anymore. He crossed the line, and committed such a betrayal so profound to their sensibilities these so-called privileged, arrogant and spoiled brats that they will never, ever forgive him. Fortunately for us, “the deplorables”, the former President Trump has a warm and generous heart, tons of commonsense, a moral compass that points steadily North, and a very courageous man with a strong convictions of right and wrong. But, most of all, Trump loves his country and its citizenry fiercely. And, that is another reason the dems despise Donald J. him and the MAGA/other supporters LOVE him!
