Congress must reassert taxation authority to preserve democratic accountability.

I urge you to co-sponsor The Trade Review Act of 2025 (H.R. 2665) to reassert Congress's constitutional prerogative over taxation. By reclaiming this essential responsibility, Congress can ensure proper oversight and restore the system of checks and balances envisioned by the Framers. This step is crucial for preserving the integrity of our republican form of government. The federal government's power to tax is one of the most consequential authorities granted by the Constitution. Unrestrained delegation of this core legislative power to the executive branch undermines democratic accountability and separation of powers.
