The United States was founded on the rejection of monarchy. Our system of government is designed to ensure that no single individual wields unchecked power. Yet, the sheer volume of executive orders issued at both the national and state levels has far surpassed reasonable governance.
These orders bypass the legislative process, eroding the very foundation of our democracy. It is neither practical nor effective to protest each one individually. Instead, I urge our elected representatives—regardless of party—to resist this overreach and uphold the principles of balanced government. Our founders fought for independence, not rule by decree. The message remains clear — No kings.
