Musk’s takeover of USAID is a coup

To: Sen. Moreno, Sen. Husted

From: A constituent in Oberlin, OH

February 5

The definition of a coup is "a sudden decisive exercise of force in politics and especially the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group". It's true there is no violence (yet). But an unelected billionaire is usurping the powers of congress, and you are doing nothing to stop him. Congress created USAID. If congress wants to legally close USAID they can do that. You control every branch of government. Instead, Elon Musk and his college-aged boys are marching into government offices and doing whatever they want. That's a coup. I WANT TO LIVE IN A DEMOCRACY NOT A DICTATORSHIP. In a democracy, there is rule of law. Having an unelected billionaire usurp the powers of congress is not the rule of law. You swore an oath to protect our constitution. What are you going to do about this?
