To the editor:

The framers provided a simple solution for a problem like this one: The president’s veto can be overridden by a two-thirds vote by each house of Congress.

It is time that the Republicans in Congress recognize their duty to the country exceeds their loyalty to Trump’s irrational and insane form of governing. Trump is a sinking ship, and the Republicans need to untie their boats or risk being taken down with him in 2020.

It’s time for Republicans to do the right thing.
