Playback speed:

For too long, unelected regulators have wielded unchecked power over the American people. That era may be coming to an end.

Executive Oversight Restored as the People’s Voice Returns to Washington

The Battle for Constitutional Governance

The Founders envisioned a government accountable to the people, yet decades of bureaucratic expansion have created a shadow government of independent agencies operating beyond presidential authority. These agencies impose regulations, spend tax dollars, and set national priorities without the oversight of elected officials.

President Donald J. Trump, in a decisive move to restore constitutional order, signed an executive order mandating that all executive agencies, including so-called independent agencies, be subject to White House supervision. This action reaffirms Article II of the U.S. Constitution, which vests executive power solely in the President, ensuring accountability to the American people.

Restoring the People’s Voice in Government

A constitutional republic is one where the elected representatives—led by the President—govern under the people’s consent. Over the years, agencies like the FTC, FCC, and SEC have become powerful entities that make unilateral decisions affecting Americans’ lives.

Under this new order:

All agencies must submit regulations for White House review.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) will oversee agency spending.
Independent regulators can no longer impose rules without Presidential oversight.

These changes ensure that power remains with elected officials, not career bureaucrats, shifting control back to the people.

Wasteful Spending Exposed: A Biblical Call for Stewardship

Biblical stewardship calls for wise management of resources, yet billions in taxpayer dollars have been misallocated. A new presidential memorandum requires transparency regarding wasteful government spending, forcing agencies to disclose:

Terminated programs and grants that failed to serve national interests.
Canceled contracts tied to ideological and partisan agendas.
Biden-era financial mismanagement, including a $50 million grant linked to climate activism in Palestine and nearly $4.6 million in foreign LGBT initiatives.

The Bible warns against unjust scales (Proverbs 11:1), and reclaiming financial integrity aligns with God’s design for just governance.

The Constitutional and Biblical Mandate for Accountability

The separation of powers outlined in the Constitution prevents any branch from operating without oversight. Just as God established order in governance (Romans 13:1-4), America’s founders built a system where power is checked by the will of the people.

Trump’s recent actions uphold this biblical and constitutional principle, ensuring that:

No agency operates beyond the law.
Federal spending serves national—not political—interests.
The President, elected by the people, remains the chief executive authority.

By reining in the administrative state, constitutional government is being restored—a victory not just for conservatives, but for all Americans who believe in limited government, transparency, and the rule of law.

Conclusion: A Republic, If We Can Keep It

Benjamin Franklin famously warned that America was founded as “a Republic, if you can keep it.” The battle to maintain a government by the people and for the people is ongoing. President Trump’s executive actions mark a significant step toward reclaiming the constitutional principles that built this nation.

The question remains: Will we, as a people, rise to the responsibility of holding our government accountable?

The fight for freedom, biblical stewardship, and constitutional integrity is far from over.
