Key Takeaways:
- The U.S. Constitution is not just a legal document—it’s a blueprint for liberty.
- Checks and balances protect against tyranny and abuse of power.
- Federalism decentralizes authority to preserve freedom.
- Rights are recognized as God-given, not granted by government.
- The Founders’ Christian worldview shaped the separation of powers—limiting evil by limiting control.
There’s an epic battle raging in America today.
It’s not just political.
It’s a battle for the very soul of our Constitution…
And it’s exposing a dangerous threat to your freedom.
Here are 4 realities that explain what’s happening:
1. The three branches of our Constitutional Republic are in a power struggle unlike anything we’ve seen in modern history.
As someone who’s been a president of a company, I know this:
You can’t lead effectively if you don’t have authority.
If you strip away a leader’s authority, the organization becomes
- Ineffective
- Dysfunctional
- Chaotic
And that’s exactly what has happened to the Executive Branch of the United States.
The U.S. Constitution creates a separation of power between the three branches:
- Congress (Legislative)
- The President (Executive)
- The Courts (Judicial)
This wasn’t an accident.
It was genius.
This division of power has made the U.S. Constitution the longest-lasting governing document of any free nation in history.
But here’s the problem: the Courts want more power.
So do unelected bureaucrats who work in the Executive Branch.
And slowly but surely, the President of the United States – the Chief Executive Officer – has been undermined and stripped of his authority.
2. The power struggle is rooted in ideology.
Ideological differences today are much greater than in previous generations.
Activist judges believe they have the power to legislate and to dictate executive policies.
Unelected executive-branch bureaucrats believe they don’t have to obey presidential policy directives or follow executive orders.
Members of Congress that oppose President Trump do everything they can to undermine his executive authority.
The constitutional principle of the separation of powers is being blurred almost to the point of non-existence.
3. The power struggle is multi-faceted.
Part of the power struggle is over the separation of powers between the Executive Branch and the Judicial Branch.
But it’s more than that.
President Trump is at war with the Deep State, which wants to strip him of his executive authority.
Allied against the president are:
- Activist judges who oppose his agenda for America
- Executive Branch bureaucrats who oppose his agenda
- The ideologically biased press that opposes his agenda
- Social media influencers and censors who oppose his agenda
It’s basically President Trump, his Cabinet, his personal staff and half of Congress against the rest of the federal government.
4. The core of the power struggle: Who rightfully controls the Executive Branch?
The Constitution is crystal clear. It says:
“The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.”
It doesn’t say “some” of the executive power.
It doesn’t say “shared with Congress or the Courts.”
It doesn’t say “as permitted by unelected bureaucrats.”
All executive power is vested in the president.
If you weaken that — if you allow unelected judges, rogue agencies, or Congress to strip that authority away — you destroy the very system that safeguards our freedom.
5. Why Did the Founders Create the Separation of Powers?
The Founders understood human nature.
They believed—based on their Christian worldview—that man is sinful, power-hungry, and prone to abuse authority.
That’s why they deliberately designed a system of checks and balances.
A structure where no individual, group, or faction could dominate and crush freedom.
Unlike many nations that copy constitutional language promising “freedom of speech” or “freedom of religion,” America’s separation of powers makes those freedoms a reality.
This innovation is one of history’s greatest achievements—and a key reason the United States has endured as a democratic republic while others collapsed into tyranny.
This is more than a constitutional debate.
It’s a battle for the future of America.
Who do you want running the Executive Branch — the President YOU elected… or unelected elites who answer to no one?
That’s the question at the heart of today’s epic constitutional showdown.

FAQs:
Q: Aren’t all governments set up with some kind of constitution?
A: Many are, but most ignore the protection against government coercion and abuse. Without separation of powers, one group easily dominates the others, and rights become meaningless words on paper.
Q: Why did the Founders base their system on a Christian worldview?
A: They knew man is sinful and prone to corruption. By limiting government power, they protected future generations from tyranny.
Q: How does separation of powers work today?
A: Through three branches—executive, legislative, and judicial—each checking the other. When one tries to expand too far, the others can restrain it.
Q: What happens if separation of powers is weakened?
A: Freedom erodes quickly. History shows nations without true checks and balances inevitably drift toward authoritarian control.
