Results: Schiff proposes reforms to limit Trump's power: 'Necessity even greater now'
Published on 09/29/2025
California Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff, a longtime political foe of President Donald Trump, 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.
The "Protecting Our Democracy Act" is Schiff's signature piece of legislation, expanded now to take into consideration what he calls "new abuses of this administration," the senator said in an interview with ABC News -- abuses he says include the Trump's administration acceptance of a luxury jet from the Qatari royal family for use as the new Air Force One without congressional approval and maneuvers from the president to impose global tariffs.
Changes in the new bill -- shared exclusively with ABC News ahead of its release -- update a 2021 version of the legislation that passed through the then-Democrat-controlled House but was later blocked in the Senate. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/schiff-proposes-reforms-limit-trumps-145529151.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYmluZy5jb20v&guce_referrer_sig=AQAA
