Bill > HRes188

This resolution affirms the fundamental legal principle that the President of the United States must comply with court orders, specifically in response to multiple federal court injunctions against President Donald J. Trump's executive actions in early 2025. The resolution highlights several specific court orders that restrained presidential actions, including preventing the denial of citizenship to individuals born in the United States, blocking attempts to pause or freeze federal funds, restricting access to Treasury Department records, and stopping directives to terminate employees in various federal agencies. Drawing on landmark Supreme Court cases like Marbury v. Madison (1803) and Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer (1952), which established judicial review and defined presidential power limits, the resolution reaffirms that the judiciary's role is to interpret the law and that presidential power must derive from the Constitution or Congressional acts. The resolution explicitly calls on President Trump to comply with existing court orders, emphasizes that all individuals, including government officials, are equally subject to court orders, and asserts the judiciary's authority to enforce its decisions, underscoring the importance of maintaining the constitutional system of checks and balances.
