196 members of Congress have filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump for violating the Constitution. That’s a big deal! Never before has so much of Congress sued a sitting president.

That’s because we’ve never had a sitting president so openly disregard the Constitution. The Trump Organization's profits still flow to Trump, letting foreign governments funnel money to Trump through his properties in the U.S. and business dealings in over 20 different countries1 – all in violation of the U.S. Constitution.

Congress members who represent you in Washington, Representative Martha McSally and Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake, have not yet joined the lawsuit.

Call your reps and tell them to join the lawsuit and hold Trump accountable to the Constitution. Here are the numbers to call:

Rep. McSally - (202) 225-2542
Sen. McCain - (202) 224-2235
Sen. Flake - (202) 224-4521

The Constitution clearly states in the Foreign Emoluments Clause, that no public official can accept “emoluments:” gifts, payments, or profits from a foreign government without the consent of Congress. And that hasn’t happened.

Instead of divesting from Trump Organization, Donald Trump merely handing the reigns over to his sons, while still collecting and getting regular updates on profits.1

Some of your members of Congress haven’t joined this lawsuit yet. It’s time they hear from you. Tell them to join the lawsuit against Donald Trump for violating the Constitution. Hear are their numbers:
