Rep. Krishnamoorthi: ‘Donald Trump is Not a King, He’s a President’

‘He’s accountable to the American people and to their representatives’

EXCERPT:

KRISHNAMOORTHI: "Speaking of delusions, that sounds like the delusions of a king or someone who thinks he’s a king. You know, the President is — Donald Trump is not a king. He’s a president. He’s accountable to the American people and to their representatives, namely the U.S. Congress, and right now we’re kind of in a situation where we are staring at a challenge right in our face which is do we do nothing and allow these subpoenas and various tools of our oversight to go uncomplied with, or do we try to enforce them?And I say we have to enforce them to the hilt, and we have to make sure that the American people are able to conduct oversight, not only of Donald Trump but of future presidents as well. This is not a partisan issue."
