This executive order seeks to consolidate presidential control over independent regulatory agencies and subject them to greater oversight from the White House. As elected representatives of the people, we have a duty to maintain checks and balances and prevent excessive consolidation of power in the executive branch. Independent agencies play a vital role in providing expertise and impartiality on complex issues impacting millions of Americans. Allowing the president to exert undue influence over their operations, budgets, and rulemaking processes undermines their autonomy and public accountability. We urge you to take immediate action to block this order and protect the independence of these agencies, which are essential for effective governance and safeguarding the public interest over partisan politics. The American people rely on a system of co-equal branches providing robust oversight of each other.
