We the people ask the federal government to Call on Congress to act on an issue:

IMMEDIATELY remove the indefinite detention clause from the national defense authorization act of 2012

Created by L.C. on November 20, 2016

The 2012 National Defense Authorization Act included a provision, which has been upheld in every vote on the measure since 2012, that gives the President the unilateral executive authority to arrest and hold any American accused of being a terrorist:

- Indefinitely

- In secret

- With no charges filed against them

- With no legal representation

- With no access to a trial by peers

- In a black ops detention facility

- And subject them to possible torture

This one clause effectively strips EVERY American of their 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th amendment rights as protected under the Constitution of The United States of America.

This is an authority that President elect Donald J. Trump MUST NOT HAVE because this authority can be used against YOU.
