Live Breaking News & Updates on Reassert congressional

Dear Leader Schumer, Speaker Pelosi, Leader McConnell, and Leader McCarthy:
On behalf of the undersigned organizations, members of the Power of the Purse Coalition, we write requesting your support for advancing a number of initiatives in the 117th Congress to strengthen the legislative branch’s constitutional authority over the federal government’s purse strings.
Lawmakers in both parties have reacted with alarm and chagrin in recent years when Presidents from both parties have overstepped the bounds of their executive power. Our organizations represent many different positions on the ideological spectrum, but we formed this coalition based on a firm belief that the erosion of congressional capacity and authority to the aggrandizement of the executive branch is a nonpartisan problem requiring bipartisan solutions.
