Declares that the House of Representatives has no confidence that President Trump is faithfully executing the office of President. Calls for President Trump to: release his tax returns; place his private business assets in a blind trust or divest from them; donate to the U.S. Treasury any personal profit from foreign patronage of hotels in which he has an ownership interest; refrain from taking any action that results in taxpayer money being spent on goods or services from businesses in which he has an ownership interest; seek congressional consent for any emoluments he has received from foreign countries; refrain from using Twitter inappropriately; support the First Amendment, support freedom of the press, refrain from calling reporting "fake news," refrain from posting video of himself wrestling with a press logo, and stop limiting full electronic press access to White House press briefings; promote democracy, freedom of the press, and human rights in foreign policy; unequivocally acknowledge that Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and work to protect our electoral process from future foreign interference; refuse any offer to form a cybersecurity unit with the Russian government to protect the United States from election hacking; respect the independence of our nation's judicial branch; respect Members of Congress and refrain from using derogatory nicknames for them; and conduct foreign policy in a manner that reflects the U.S. traditional role as leader of the free world.
