Congress: Exert your Article I powers.
U.S. Congress
Unchecked power is dangerous. The Founders understood this. That’s why they created three branches of government and a system of checks and balances.
But today, the U.S. is experiencing an escalating constitutional crisis and concentration of power around the president. Executive overreach, weakened congressional oversight, and political intimidation have dismantled essential checks and balances.
If left unchecked, the consequences for all Americans will be real and serious. Congress needs to do its job and exert its Article I powers.

The Framers acutely understood that unchecked power, no matter its source, poses a fundamental threat to liberty.
But America is suddenly at a perilous crossroads. The executive branch must yield to checks and balances. It must not seize for itself powers that defy accountability.
We call on Congress to reaffirm their constitutional authority under Article I; and to uphold the rule of law, protect our institutions, and keep power where it belongs — in a government of, by, and for the people.
