Letters: Tell senators to preserve checks, balances

What’s next, a monarchy? All hail the dictator for life?!

For over two centuries, the system of checks and balances enshrined in the Constitution has protected us from falling through that trap door.

When the checks and balances themselves are under attack by the president, through the invitation of foreign influence in our elections and outright obstruction of constitutionally mandated oversight, there’s just one escape clause, one “pull cord in case of emergency”: impeachment and removal.

Contact Sens. Cory Gardner and Michael Bennet before the checks and balances have been eroded beyond recovery.
