An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress

Stop the unconstitutional power grab by Trump

8 so far! Help us get to 10 signers!

This executive order represents an alarming consolidation of power in the presidency that undermines crucial checks and balances. Independent agencies were designed to operate outside of undue political influence, providing impartial expertise and oversight. Subjecting them to White House control and revising their funding jeopardizes their core purpose of serving the public interest over partisan aims. Furthermore, requiring all regulations to be approved by the White House enables unrestrained executive overreach into areas meant to remain independent. This order grievously erodes the separation of powers and system of accountability enshrined in the Constitution. Defending agency independence from such a broad power grab is essential to preserving democratic governance and preventing authoritarian overreach. I urge revisiting this order to uphold the proper balance of powers.
