Reps. Tom Malinowski (D-N.J.), Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) and Justin Amash (I-Mich.) introduced a one-sentence resolution on Tuesday pushing back on President Trump's claims that he has total authority over when states can begin to ease the restrictions put in place in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"When somebody's president of the United States, the authority is total, and that's the way it's got to to be. It's total. It's total and the governors know that," Trump said at a press briefing at the White House on Monday.

The comments sparked bipartisan pushback.

The resolution says "the House of Representatives affirms that when someone is the president of the United States, their authority is not total."
