Cong. Elijah Cummings :
William T. Martin, Esq., our bright undergraduate classmate, asked me to bring 18 U.S.C. 227 to your attention , about a week ago. I have delayed doing so until now, being confident that a constituent or staff member had probably already done so. But, to clear my conscience, in light of my word to him, I now remit the criminal statute outlawing such public officials as President Trump from impairing the exercise of established constitutional rights, as kneeling by NFL athletes clearly is!
