Adam Schiff Proposes Reforms to Limit Trump’s Power

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) “is reintroducing what he calls landmark pro-democracy legislation on Wednesday — but with notable updates aimed at directly addressing activity from the White House over the past eight months of Trump’s second term,” ABC News reports.

“Updates include expanding limits on pardon power, new provisions regarding the dismissal of criminal prosecutions, strengthening congressional subpoena enforcement and asserting lawmakers’ power of the purse and protecting whistleblowers.”

“The bill also would create an inspector general to oversee the Executive Office of the President.”
