Trump's Executive Order violates the independence of federal agencies granted by Congress. Independent agencies like the FTC, SEC, and FEC play critical roles in protecting consumers, investors, fair markets, and election integrity - roles designed to be insulated from undue political influence or corporate pressure. Subjecting these agencies to White House control, as this order attempts, would undermine their core missions and put the public interest at risk. The order illegally consolidates power in the White House, shielding corporations from accountability. To preserve the intended functions of these vital watchdogs, this Executive Order overstepping constitutional boundaries must be rescinded. Defending agency independence upholds crucial safeguards for the American people.
