An open letter to the U.S. Senate

Keep Senate oversight on cabinet appointments

13 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

Granting recess appointments would undermine the vital system of checks and balances and circumvent the constitutionally mandated process of Senate advice and consent on presidential nominations. This process provides crucial oversight and vetting to ensure that nominees are qualified and fit to serve in their intended roles. Bypassing this scrutiny could pave the way for unqualified or unfit individuals to be installed in powerful positions without proper accountability. Instead, I urge a commitment to respecting the Senate's advise and consent role as a co-equal branch of government. Upholding this process reinforces democratic norms and prevents any perception of impropriety or politicization in staffing key government positions. The American people deserve full confidence that their public servants have been properly vetted and approved through constitutional means.
