It was not a "footnote" it was and is a law. And Trump violated it.

The Constitution does not say that the President can do whatever he or
she wants. It set up three co-equal branches of government. Congress
passes the laws, the President and the Executive branch execute those
laws, and the Judicial passes judgement.

True, the Democrats did not count on the President releasing evidence
that proves he committed a crime -- but that is exactly what he did.

up and follow their conscience to at least have a fair trial, and
perhaps the American people will come to realize how corrupt and
self-serving Trump really is.
