236 years ago, the Founders signed our Constitution, beginning our great American experiment. As Speaker, it is my duty to use every tool in the Constitution—including the power of the purse and oversight of the Executive Branch—to ensure Congress stands up for We the People.

You swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, but you violate that oath every single day. You defend a man who violated the constitution, and who called for the termination of the constitution. Take several seats, Mr. Weaker.

All you stand for is power, revenge, and spite. So, sit down.

Al Franken was forced to resign for making an inappropriate gesture on an airplane BEFORE he was in Congress. Boebert displayed far worse lewd behavior in a theater in front of kids and families and ended it by flipping off the ushers that escorted her out. Shouldn't she be forced to resign?

The "power of the purse" is granted solely to Congress in the Constitution. However, we're handing over our own power as we continue to allow the Executive Branch to substitute its agenda for Congress' role. It's dangerous and sets a harmful precedent for our nation's future.

250 years ago, our Founders pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to create this great American experiment. We are fighting back to preserve the Constitution for another 250 years. Sharia has no place in America.

Congress is a co-equal branch of government, not a rubber stamp. Today, I offered three bills to rein in Trump’s executive overreach: to protect the Constitution, defend the independence of the Federal Reserve, and reassert Congress's power of the purse. Enough is enough. We need action now!

My loyalty is to the Constitution, not any party. Article I gives Congress the power to declare war and control the purse. The executive cannot use military force or seize/spend Venezuelan assets without congressional approval. If our country wants war, Congress must vote.

The Constitution is clear – Congress, not the President, has the power to declare war. Senator Tim Kaine’s resolution offers every member of Congress an opportunity to stand up for the Constitution, American service members, and America’s strategic interests.

The two billionaires running our country straight into the ground seem to have skipped American history because our Constitution is clear: Congress has the power of the purse. Presidents don't write laws—they execute them.

I’m all for cutting inefficiencies, rooting out waste, fraud and abuse, but there’s a thing… a pesky little thing…. it’s called the Constitution. The Constitution put Congress in charge of oversight and the power of the purse.

Congress has a constitutional duty to provide oversight of the Executive Branch to hold presidential admins accountable to the people. Trump and DHS have blocked every one of our efforts to tour and inspect ICE detention facilities, as we are legally authorized to do. If everything is above board, why are they illegally denying our access?

Lawyer: The Constitution, our framers, and 238 years of American history all say only Congress has the power to impose tariffs on the American people. Tariffs are nothing but taxes on the American people, paid by Americans. This case is about upholding the separation of powers.

We cannot normalize Trump’s shredding of our Constitution, his attacks on our democracy, and his serial lying. That’s why I was proud to join true patriots at the People’s State of the Union where people gathered to speak up and stand up for the country we love, and called upon everyone to do their part to protect the great American experiment. ⬇️

Madison had it right: The executive branch is most prone to war. Therefore, the Constitution vested that power in the legislature!

When our founders created the judicial branch, they intended it to settle disputes, not to curtail nationwide executive policy. We need to restore the system of checks and balances and ensure the credibility of our judicial system by prohibiting universal injunctions.

Here is the great Constitution law professor and Congressman Jamie Raskin explaining to Americans only the members of Congress, on behalf of the people, have the right to declare war. The madman in the Oval Office has no power to declare war. No president, even sane ones, have that power. It is written in the Constitution. #DemsUnited

We’ve all watched as my Republican colleagues in Congress have looked the other way while the President and his Admin have ignored the Constitution and rule of law and wreaked havoc on our country. If lawmakers won’t stand up for the American people, then the American people must stand up at the ballot box in November. Our democracy depends on it.
