We, the undersigned citizens of the United States, petition Congress to take bold and immediate action to restore the constitutional balance of power in our government. The Affordable Care Act subsidies are not only vital to millions of Americans who rely on them for affordable health coverage - they also represent a pow erful point of leverage for Congress in negotiations with the Executive Branch. he ultimate safeguard: the Exceptions Clause (Article III, Section 2), which grants Congress authority over the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. . This has eroded the independence and strength of the people's elected representatives. The Constitution of the United States provides Congress with t Forgot long, the Executive Branch has expanded its authority through actions such as pocket vetoes, executive orders, and pressure on the Judicial Branch We call on Congress to: 1. Protect Affordable Care Act subsidies while recognizing them as a critical bargaining tool in restoring legislative authority. 2. Use the power of the purse and legislative negotiation to reassert Congress's Constitution roll. 3Exercise its authority under the Exceptions Clause to prevent further erosion of the separation of powers. This is not only about Healthcare. It is about defending the very foundation of our democracy and ensuring that the Legislative Branch - the Branch close st to the people - is not over shadowed by Executive overreach. Congress must stand firm. The future of our healthcare and the integrity of our Constitution depend on it.
