Who rules the United States?

The answer should be simple, but, as one [[http://freebeacon.com/columns/rules-united-states|Washington Free Beacon]] columnist explained last week, the bureaucrats are doing their best to wrest control from the people’s representatives.

Donald Trump was elected fairly as per the Constitution’s requirements. The people chose their President (and their Congress), and they expected D.C. to fall in line.

But as soon as Trump took office, federal employees transformed from the compliant middle managers that they are into would-be freedom fighters. They [[http://www.conventionofstates.com/nsa_absolutely_tapping_trump_s_phone_says_whistleblower|leaked information]]; they signed up for [[http://www.conventionofstates.com/180_federal_employees_sign_up_for_civil_disobedience_class|civil disobedience classes]]; they used [[http://www.conventionofstates.com/federal_workers_turn_to_secret_messaging|secret message boards]] to communicate; they vowed to fight the man the American people chose to lead the country.

Why? Because they’ve grown accustomed to their positions of power, and they’re not going down without a fight.

The President needs help draining the swamp. He can’t fight a multi-front battle on his own, and even the policies he does implement can be overturned after the next election cycle. 

That’s why millions of Americans have called for the states to hold the first-ever Article V Convention of States. A Convention of States has the authority to propose constitutional amendments. These amendments can restructure the balance of power in D.C., forcing federal bureaucrats to serve the American people and allowing the people’s representatives to do their jobs.
