美国宾夕法尼亚州参议员约翰·费特曼透露，他曾直接告诉前总统巴拉克·奥巴马：“我不是为你工作的。”据费特曼称，奥巴马经常造访国会山，为民主党人提供政策指导。费特曼表示，他觉得这些会面令人反感，因为他的忠诚只属于那些投票选举他的选民。费特曼指出，自从他进入参议院以来，奥巴马就一直在举行这些每周例会。他认为，一位前总统以这种方式施加影响，并不符合一个宪政共和国的运作方式。费特曼强调，当选官员应该对他们的选民负责，而不是对任何前任领导人或政党网络负责。

Senator John Fetterman revealed that he directly told former President Barack Obama he does not work for him. Obama had been visiting Capitol Hill regularly to deliver policy guidance to Democrats according to Fetterman. The Pennsylvania senator expressed that he found these sessions offensive because his loyalty belongs to the voters who elected him. Fetterman noted that Obama has conducted these weekly meetings since he joined the Senate. He argued that such influence from a former president does not align with how a constitutional republic should function. Fetterman emphasized that elected officials must answer to their constituents rather than any past leader or party network.
