The Protecting Our Democracy Act (PODA) is back in Congress, aiming to curb executive power, increase transparency, and reduce foreign influence in U.S. elections. It promises tighter oversight of presidential powers, enhanced protections for whistleblowers, and new rules to keep foreign money out of our elections. Supporters say it’s essential to prevent corruption and restore the balance of power, while critics argue it could disrupt the separation of powers and slow government efficiency.

Where do you stand? Should Congress take more control to prevent executive overreach, or does this bill risk tilting too far?

    Yea, fix congress first then maybe give them more power. They are already pretty ineffective eat the things they are supposed to do.

    And yea, bills should be one thing. I know why they aren’t, but I don’t agree with it.
