I am writing to express my strong opposition to President Trump’s executive order, Ensuring Accountability for All Agencies. This order, which subjects independent regulatory agencies to White House oversight, threatens the very foundation of our republic by undermining the separation of powers and the independence of these critical institutions.
Independent agencies such as the SEC, FTC, and FEC were established to function outside of political influence, ensuring that regulatory decisions are made in the public interest rather than serving the whims of any one administration. By requiring these agencies to align with the White House’s directives and legal positions, this order dangerously consolidates power within the executive branch, effectively eroding the checks and balances that define our government.
This action forces us to ask: Are we still a constitutional republic governed by laws and independent institutions, or are we moving toward an oligarchy where all power is concentrated in the hands of a few? The ability of agencies to function without political interference is essential to maintaining the integrity of our democracy and preventing abuses of power.
I urge you to take a stand against this executive order and work to preserve the independence of our government agencies. This is not a partisan issue—it is a fundamental question of whether we uphold the principles of our Constitution or allow executive overreach to redefine the balance of power in our nation.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response.
