Summary

The Democratic National Committee and two other party committees have sued Trump over Executive Order 14215, which claims authority to seize control of the Federal Elections Commission.

The lawsuit argues this violates federal law and threatens free elections.

The order also claims power over other agencies including the SEC, FTC, and NLRB.

Democrats contend this executive overreach contradicts constitutional principles and a century of Supreme Court precedent upholding Congress’s authority to insulate certain agencies from presidential control.

        There should be, but we just spent the last 50 years going down corruption lane. We should have burned down Citizens United when they first tried to buy an election. We should have instated anti corruption laws to keep corporations and political action committees out. Its too late now. There is going to be strife, and more if the people dont pull those two monstrosities out of office.
