An Open Letter
To: Rep. Van Duyne, Sen. Cruz, Sen. Cornyn
From: A verified voter in Fort Worth, TX

To: The Members of the United States Congress Subject: Formal Assessment of Executive Administrative Competence This letter outlines a factual basis for evaluating the removal of Donald Trump from office based on administrative and procedural indicators of incompetence. While political opposition is subjective, the following points address objective failures in the execution of the duties of the Presidency. I. Erosion of Administrative Stability Effective governance requires a stable, Senate-confirmed leadership structure. Under this administration, the "A-team" turnover rate reached 92%, according to the Brookings Institution. The unprecedented reliance on "Acting" officials to lead cabinet-level departments—such as the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security—circumvents the Senate’s constitutional "Advice and Consent" role. This pattern results in a lack of institutional continuity and a diminished capacity to execute long-term national strategies. II. Procedural Failures and the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) A primary metric of executive competence is the ability to enact policy that survives judicial scrutiny. This administration has seen a high rate of executive actions struck down by federal courts specifically for failing to follow the Administrative Procedure Act. These legal reversals are not merely matters of opinion; they are factual findings that the executive branch failed to provide the "reasoned explanation" or the evidentiary basis required by law for significant policy shifts. III. Breaches of National Security Protocol The President is the primary steward of the nation's secrets. Documented instances of the unauthorized disclosure of highly classified "Special Intelligence"—such as information shared in the Oval Office with foreign diplomats—demonstrate a failure to adhere to the rigid protocols designed to protect intelligence sources and methods. Such lapses threaten the integrity of international intelligence-sharing agreements. IV. Statutory Violations Regarding Fiscal Authority The Government Accountability Office (GAO) determined that the administration violated the Impoundment Control Act by withholding congressionally appropriated funds. The President’s duty under Article II is to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed." Bypassing the fiscal authority of Congress represents a factual failure to adhere to the statutory limits of the office.
