Despite Trump Abuses, 208 House Republicans Vote Against Bill to Ensure ‘No President Is Above the Law’

“The overreach and abuses of the last administration exposed a series of loopholes and problems that urgently need to be addressed.”

House lawmakers voted 220-208 in favor of H.R. 5314, the Protecting Our Democracy Act, with just one Republican, Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, joining every Democrat except two who did not vote in approving the measure.

“The Protecting Our Democracy Act will prevent future presidential abuses of power, protect our elections, and restore checks and balances. These protections are vital to the future of our republic.” Representative Madeleine Dean (D-Pa.).
