An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Protect Congress's constitutional power over federal spending

1 so far! Let’s get to 5 signers!

The Constitution grants Congress the power of the purse, with the ability to levy taxes, borrow money, and appropriate funds. This authority is a critical check on the executive branch, ensuring accountability and preventing an overreach of power. Protecting this congressional prerogative upholds the principles of separation of powers and maintains the system of checks and balances envisioned by the Framers. I urge you to safeguard this bedrock principle of American democracy and defend Congress's role as a coequal branch in budgetary matters. Preserving these constitutional powers is vital for maintaining balance and preventing any branch from accumulating excessive control.
