For weeks now the Democratic Party and Marxist media have been screaming at the top of their lungs that America is in a “Constitutional Crisis” because of Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). They are using the argument that the President is outside of the Constitution because he appointed Musk to head up DOGE, which is not a government agency authorized by Congress. In none of the words they are using do they cite what is a violation of the Constitution. The media and Democrats are twisting the truth and misleading the American people about Musk’s advisory role with DOGE and the President’s authority to hold government accountable. Maybe they all should study the Constitution.
Article II Section 2 says the President “may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices,” which seems that he has authority over the actions of executive departments.” Article II Section 3 charges the President with taking care “he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.” Meaning that the president has authority to uphold the law (which also means he can hold accountability on waste and corruption) and oversee the appointed officers of the country. In short, he is the chief executive officer responsible for running the country.
Article I Section 8 enumerates 18 powers of Congress, ranging from levying taxes to pay the debts, provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States to borrowing money to regulating commerce to uniform laws, coining money and setting weights and measures standards to declaring war. In addition, Congress raises the army and navy, provides for militia to execute the laws and suppress insurrections and repel invasions. In summary, Congress is to make the laws necessary for domestic tranquility and raise the money needed to provide for the common defense and general welfare. The Constitution does not divest authority to administrative agencies to make laws. An administrative “law” that protects a government agency from being held accountable is neither a law nor is it constitutional.
The president has the duty and the authority to hold his own executive branch accountable, especially when there is waste and corruption. In January 2014, the media and the Democrats thought Barack Obama brilliant for saying “I’ve got a pen, and I’ve got a phone” as a means to do what he wanted. Now that Trump is doing the same thing to end waste and corruption, they claim a Constitutional crisis. In reality, for good or bad, the President has a lot of authority over the executive branch. Courts will start determining the legality of Trump’s accountability, but even the courts are full of corruption. Even “experts” interviewed by Marxist media couldn’t name a Constitutional violation in the DOGE efforts. Christ said in Matthew 24:4, “Take heed that no man deceive you.” Don’t believe the media. Study for yourself.
