Defend Library of Congress autonomy from executive overreach

To: Rep. Wittman, Sen. Kaine, Sen. Warner

From: A verified voter in Williamsburg, VA

May 13, 2025

Asserting Congressional authority over the Library of Congress is crucial to upholding the separation of powers and preventing an unconstitutional power grab by the executive branch. As a non-partisan legislative agency, the Library must remain independent to properly advise Congress and protect sensitive information. The President's attempt to install political operatives and access confidential data poses a grave threat to Congressional oversight and the system of checks and balances. Immediate action is needed to reaffirm the Library's role within the legislative branch and block any efforts to compromise its integrity or undermine its service to Congress. The Constitutional principles at stake demand a resolute defense of the Library's autonomy from executive overreach.
