Petition to State Legislatures and Governors

The United States is facing an unprecedented constitutional crisis. The executive branch has repeatedly ignored judicial rulings, bypassed congressional oversight, and dismantled essential government systems on a whim. These actions threaten the foundations of our democracy and the rule of law itself.

We call upon state legislatures and governors to issue a formal vote of no confidence in the federal government’s ability to uphold constitutional governance. This action is necessary to signal that the states will not stand idly by as the federal system of checks and balances collapses.

The federal system of checks and balances is in crisis. The executive branch has overstepped its authority, dismissing legal constraints and disregarding the responsibilities of the judiciary and legislature. The balance of power that ensures democratic governance for is eroding rapidly.

We, the undersigned, believe that:

• No single branch should operate without accountability – The judiciary exists to interpret the law, and the legislature must provide oversight. Any administration that disregards these functions is acting unlawfully.
• Government systems and agencies must not be dismantled arbitrarily – The federal government serves the people, and its institutions cannot be undermined for political gain.
• Congress must assert its role in governance – Lawmakers must act decisively to counteract unchecked executive power and uphold constitutional integrity.

A failure to act endangers democracy – If these violations go unchallenged, the precedent will be set for further erosion of democratic governance.

We call upon state and federal lawmakers to take immediate action by:

• Publicly opposing any executive actions that defy legal authority.
• Reasserting the role of congressional oversight and demanding transparency.
• Protecting government agencies from arbitrary dissolution or interference.
• Upholding the constitutional balance of power to safeguard democracy.

This is not a partisan issue; this is about the preservation of our democratic institutions. We must demand accountability and action before irreversible damage is done.

Sign this petition to demand a vote of no confidence from state governments and defend the rule of law.
