Attorney General Can’t Do the Job, It’s Time to Step Down—And Hold Donald Trump Accountable**
*When leadership fails, democracy suffers
The office of the Attorney General carries one of the most serious responsibilities in American government: to uphold the Constitution and ensure that the law is applied fairly and without political interference. When the public begins to question whether that duty is being carried out fully and impartially, confidence in the justice system erodes—and with it, trust in democracy itself.
The Attorney General serves not merely as the president’s legal representative, but as the nation’s chief law enforcement officer. That distinction matters. The role demands independence, transparency, and the courage to act—even when doing so may be politically inconvenient. If an Attorney General is unable or unwilling to perform those responsibilities to their full potential, stepping aside may be the most responsible course of action. Public service is not about holding office; it is about protecting institutions.
At the same time, accountability does not stop at one office. Allegations and investigations involving former President Donald Trump have already tested the strength of legal and constitutional guardrails in the United States. The American system provides clear mechanisms for addressing alleged misconduct by public officials, including investigation, prosecution where appropriate, and congressional oversight. These processes must be allowed to proceed without obstruction or favoritism.
Calls for impeachment or criminal penalties are serious and should be grounded in evidence and due process—not partisan anger. The rule of law depends on facts, judicial review, and constitutional procedure. If wrongdoing is proven in court, consequences must follow. If not, the integrity of the system still requires that outcomes be respected.
Democracy is not weakened by accountability; it is strengthened by it. But that accountability must be fair, consistent, and rooted in the Constitution. When leadership falters, institutions must respond—not through rhetoric alone, but through lawful action. Only then can public trust be restored and the principle that no one is above the law remain more than just a slogan.
