Senator Mark Kelly's PEACE ACT: S4278—please sponsor it, please vote for it. Trump's ongoing usurpation of congressional powers is an abomination. Congress needs to reassert those powers, item by item and issue by issue if necessary. "Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) introduced the Prohibiting Expenditures for an Accountability-Circumventing Entity (PEACE) Act to prohibit federal funding for the Board of Peace—an unaccountable international organization with President Trump as chairman that he is using to funnel over a billion dollars in American taxpayer money with no congressional oversight, treaty, or guardrails. The Trump administration designated the Board of Peace as a public international organization in January 2026 and has since transferred $1.25 billion in federal funds meant for international disaster relief and peacekeeping operations—without congressional authorization or appropriation. Unlike every other international organization the United States funds, U.S. participation in the Board of Peace was established by neither treaty nor act of Congress, meaning that it is not accountable to the American people." This bill helps to rein in illegal executive expenditure. It should not be be necessary to legislate to defend the constitution, but it is: this legislation is necessary, appropriate, and aligned with your sworn oath to defend the constitution. Please declare your support and vote for it. A vote against it would be a betrayal of your oath and duty.
