Our Founders didn’t want kings.
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. That’s not how things should work — we’re a government of, by, and for the people.
Without rules,
the game falls apart.
Think of our democracy like a football game. It only works if everyone agrees to play by the rules and there’s a referee to enforce them.
But when one player starts ignoring the rules, and the referees stop calling fouls, the game breaks down. That’s what happens when the executive branch has too much power. And if we don’t fix it, everyone loses.
Our system is under threat.
America’s system of checks and balances keeps the game fair. It ensures that no single branch of government — especially the executive — can dominate the field.
But that balance is breaking. Presidents from both parties have pushed beyond their limits, seizing powers that were never meant to be theirs. And Congress has too often stepped aside.
The good news? We have a playbook, rooted in the Constitution, that can restore balance and stop any president from hijacking the system.
Join us in protecting American democracy.
For too long, presidents of both parties have chipped away at Congress’ constitutional authority, claiming powers that rightfully belong to the people’s branch.
Our Founders designed a system of checks and balances for a reason: to prevent any one branch from ruling unchecked. But when Congress fails to act as a counterweight, presidents act unilaterally. The result is a democracy less accountable and our freedoms less secure.
Join us in calling for:
Congress to reassert its rightful authority
The restoration of critical checks and balances
The prevention of any president — Republican or Democrat — from abusing their power.
This isn’t about left or right. It’s about protecting our democracy’s foundation: Congress makes the laws. The president enforces them.
