This is evident in recent statements made by House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler.
“There can be no higher stakes than this attempt to abrogate all power to the executive branch away from Congress and, more importantly, the American people. We talked for a long time about approaching a constitutional crisis — we’re now in it. We are now in a constitutional crisis.”
Pushback from President Trump
The president took to Twitter hours ago in order to express his thoughts on the alleged “constitutional crisis.”
The “Constitutional Crisis” is the Democrats refusing to work. Let them start by fixing the mess that their Immigration Laws have caused at the Southern Border.

Trump and Democrat leaders have ongoingly remained at odds with one another over immigration. A past dispute between both parties prompted a 35-day government shutdown and eventually lead the president to declare a national emergency at the Southern border. Democrats attempted to fight this declaration, yet ultimately lost.
The president furthermore slammed Democrats for their refusal to let go of the Russia investigation. This comes after Trump was cleared of claims that he colluded with the Russian government in order to win the 2016 presidential election.
