Bill > HRes603

This resolution reaffirms core principles of the United States Constitution by emphasizing the fundamental importance of separation of powers, checks and balances, and the rule of law. It highlights that the Constitution establishes three branches of government (legislative, executive, and judicial) with distinct powers to prevent any single branch from becoming too powerful. The resolution specifically emphasizes Congress's constitutional duties, such as declaring war, regulating commerce, and controlling spending, and affirms that no government official, including the President, is above the law. It condemns any attempts by public officials to undermine congressional authority, ignore court orders, or compromise the independence of government agencies. The resolution also stresses that congressional appropriations are legally binding, not merely suggestions, and calls on all public officials, regardless of political affiliation, to respect the constitutional order and reject actions that could potentially subvert the fundamental principles of American democratic governance. Drawing on quotes from founding fathers like James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington, the resolution underscores the importance of preventing the accumulation of power in any single branch of government and maintaining the integrity of democratic institutions.
