In response to this brazenly illegal and unconstitutional action by President Trump and his administration, Congresswoman Betty McCollum, a senior Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, released the following statement:\u201cPresident Trump told the American people that he wanted to be a dictator on day one. Now in office, he and his administration are following through with illegal and unconstitutional actions that directly threaten Americans\u2019 economic, personal, and national security.\u201d \u201cThe flurry of unconstitutional Trump Executive Orders and memos issued in the last week make America weaker and less safe. They are increasing costs for health care, housing, and groceries across our country.\u201cEvery elected official has a duty to the American people to uphold and defend the Constitution. The President\u2019s unilateral decision to withhold bipartisan funding for America\u2019s priorities passed by Congress and signed into law is an attack on American families and the rule of law.\u201d\u00a0\n \n \n \n Issues:\n \n \n Appropriations & Budget",
