From Cong. John Ratcliffe
Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C. The historic election of Donald Trump this November sent a clear message to Washington that the American people dont want eight more years of the same. And Congress owes it to them to deliver on this mandate. This week my House Republican colleagues and I took an important step in fulfilling this important demand when
we passed theRegulatory Accountability Act.
This measure contained two bills I introduced on day one of the new session of Congress that were inspired by the folks I represent back home in Texas 4th District: the
ALERT Act (H.R. 75) and the
Separation of Powers Restoration Act (H.R. 76.)
- The ALERT Act demands the transparency our regulators have been failing or blatantly refusing to provide without consequence so the American people will no longer be steamrolled by the regulatory state.
- The Separation of Powers Restoration Act (SOPRA) rebalances the scales that have been tilted in favor of regulators so they can no longer write implement and effectivly grade their own papers. It restores three co-equal branches of government as our Framers intended.
My bills that passed in the House this week dont only clean up the mess left behind by President Obamas swath of unelected bureaucrats but they also seek to ensure that such an onslaught of burdensome regulations wont be tolerated in future administrations.
President-elect Trump has made it clear hes willing and eager to work with me and my Republican colleagues in Congress to push this important fight across the finish line. Im certainly looking forward to all we will accomplish with a conservative partner in the White House who actually agrees that the government should work for the American people not the other way around.
