The United States is not a monarchy. The president is not a king, and the executive branch is not above scrutiny. Our constitutional system depends on Congress acting as a co-equal branch of government.
Oversight is not optional or partisan—it is a core constitutional duty. When Congress tolerates missed deadlines, ignored subpoenas, or open defiance of the law, it weakens not only accountability, but itself. A law without enforcement is no law at all.
The framers designed Congress to check executive power because unchecked authority leads to abuse. A president who faces no consequences for ignoring statutes or stonewalling investigations governs by decree, not by law.
Congress has the tools to act: hearings, subpoenas, contempt powers, appropriations leverage, and war powers enforcement. These tools exist for moments like this. Refusing to use them is not neutrality—it is acquiescence.
This is not about party. It is about whether Congress will remain a co-equal branch or accept a diminished role. History has its eyes on you.
Reassert your authority. Enforce the law. Uphold the Constitution.
