Letter to the editor: Democrats jeopardizing office of president

Way back in September 2017, President Trump made an offer to the Democrats in Congress regarding DACA. The Democratic leadership supported the deal, with the exception of agreeing to build a border wall. Obviously, the president’s argument being 800,000 “Dreamers” would be protected, and a border wall to stop the influx of illegals, would be a win-win.

However, the Democrats then, just as now, do not want to give Trump anything that might resemble a win, even if it was good for almost a million Dreamers and the United States. It seems Rep. Mike Doyle and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would rather see our infrastructure crumble and trade deals languish (USMCA), and use the Dreamers as political pawns, than work with Trump.

To be a Democrat in Congress today means to obstruct, investigate and divide. The desperate quest to return to power has wasted taxpayers’ time and money. Elections have consequences, even if you don’t like them, and we need to accept the results and move on.

The precedent set by this Congress jeopardizes the office of the president for years to come. The efforts to remove a president because one does not like his/her policies or personality is the real constitutional crisis we are facing.
