Trump Administration Accountability

Donald Trump and his administration repeatedly tried to undermine our democracy's core values and attack our rights. During his presidency, Common Cause took bold action to hold the Trump government accountable.

Donald Trump has engaged in shameless wrongdoing—from abusing his power and obstructing justice to interfering in our elections and inciting the deadly January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

At every turn, Common Cause has pushed for Trump Administration accountability, including supporting his two impeachments. These efforts are about making clear that nobody, including current and former presidents, is above the law.

Add Your Name: No One Is Above the Law

No one is above the law, including Donald Trump.

But the Supreme Court’s dangerous presidential immunity ruling puts that principle at risk and goes against accountability, the rule of law, and our Constitution.

Congress must pass a constitutional amendment to permanently declare that no American is above the law – not even former presidents – and prohibit presidents from pardoning themselves.
