There is no longer a balance of power in the federal government. The power of the Executive branch has grown at an alarming rate. The Constitution set up a system of checks and balances. It has been compromised. No one branch of government should be more powerful than the other two branches. The Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches are supposed to be equal. They are checks on each other. If the branches are not equal the republic can not stand for men seek to increase their own power. No man or men can be trusted with absolute power.
In the last year we have seen the Executive branch grow and expand its power dramatically. It exercises powers that it has not been granted. It publicly scolds and scorns the Judiciary and in doing so cites incorrect facts. The power of the legislative branch is gradually being leeched away and Congress does not protest. At times they seem complicit. Why is Congress silent? They are allowing themselves to become irrelevant.
The Legislative branch of the federal government needs to wake up and act to restore the balance of power to our government. They need to stop this slow motion coup d’etat.
Signed,
The Electorate
