It's been nearly three years since President Trump took office, and deep state operatives within the federal government are still working to undermine the President's agenda.
Donald Trump was the people's choice for President, and yet members of the bureaucracy still think they know better than the citizens who elected President Trump. The latest example comes from the State and Treasury Departments, where senior officials are reportedly working to save former President Obama's nuclear deal with Iran.
The Washington Free Beacon reports:
Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) is accusing multiple senior Trump administration officials in both the Treasury and State Departments of actively working behind President Donald Trump's back to save the Iran nuclear deal and continue providing Tehran with waivers permitting the regime to conduct sensitive nuclear work at a military site that houses Iran's nuclear weapons program.
In reaction to reports that the State Department will renew a series of controversial sanctions waivers that have permitted Iran to continue conducting nuclear work, including at a military bunker dug into the side of mountain, Cruz accused "deep state" officials operating at the State and Treasury Departments of actively working to undermine the administration's so-called "maximum pressure" campaign on Iran.
"If these reports are indeed accurate, then it is a temporary victory for the deep state staffers at Treasury and State who continue working tirelessly to preserve the Obama Iran deal rather than implementing the president's directive," Cruz said. "I will continue to work towards permanently ending the nuclear deal, including by exercising Congress's important oversight responsibility to ensure the implementation of United States policy."
When the American people elect a President, that President should be free to pursue the policy agenda his or her constituents want. Instead, President Trump has been frustrated at every turn by non-elected bureaucrats who believe that they're above the will of We the People.
It's time to put the "elite" bureaucratic class back in its place. An Article V Convention of States can propose constitutional amendments that reduce the power and jurisdiction of many federal agencies and eliminate some altogether. These amendments can clarify that Congress makes laws, not federal agencies, and that the public servants who do remain are just that -- servants of the people, not our masters.
