No One Is Above the Law.
The American Democracy Committee works to hold the executive branch accountable because a democracy only works when power answers to the people.
Our Mission
America was founded on a simple, radical idea: no ruler, no president, no official stands above the Constitution.
The framers built a system of checks and balances to make sure that power is always accountable to Congress, to the courts, and to the voters.
That system only works when people defend it. The American Democracy Committee exists to strengthen oversight of the executive branch, support leaders who will use the powers the Constitution gives them, and make sure Americans know when those in power break the rules.
Why It Matters
When the executive branch ignores the law, defies the courts, or treats public office as personal property, the damage doesn’t stay in Washington. It shows up in our paychecks, our communities, and our freedoms.
Accountability isn’t partisan. It’s the foundation every other right rests on.
What We Do
-
We support candidates who will use Congress’s constitutional power to investigate, subpoena, and check abuses of executive authority, and who won’t look the other way.
-
We bring public attention to executive overreach, corruption, and defiance of the law, so voters have the facts when it counts.
-
We stand up for the institutions that keep power in check: independent courts, a free press, inspectors general, and a Congress that does its job.
Why Now?
The strength of our democracy is being tested. Every election is a choice about whether we keep a government of laws or drift toward a government of one person. The outcome depends on who shows up and who speaks out.
