The United States Constitution established three co-equal branches of government: the legislative branch makes laws, the executive branch enforces laws, and the judicial branch interprets laws. This system of checks and balances creates an interplay of power between and among the branches of government, ensuring that each holds its own authority, but is also subject to and dependent on the authority of the other branches to fully function. Article I of the U.S. Constitution gives the U.S. Congress the power to make laws. While this power is subject to the president’s veto power, which Congress can override, the president cannot usurp Congress’ legislative power.

Executive Order 14252 is yet another attempt to micromanage Washington, D.C.—something that members of Congress weren’t elected to do. It undercuts the District’s right to self-govern and demonstrates a lack of trust in the leaders whom D.C. residents have chosen to address complex local issues. D.C. residents are just like people who live in any other part of the country––they deserve the same fundamental right to self-determination. This EO also attempts to limit free speech and assembly in our nation’s capital at a time when the free exchange of ideas might best help us find common ground. Finally, this EO excludes anyone familiar with how the District works. It’s another example of administration stepping in where it shouldn’t—and doing it in a sloppy way that could hurt the very communities it's supposed to serve, particularly large communities of color, instead of listening to local governments who actually know what their communities need the most.
