Reject Vought's nomination, preserve OMB integrity and checks/balances

The decision to confirm Russell Vought as the director of the Office of Management and Budget should not be taken lightly. His controversial views on Medicaid and refusal to directly answer whether healthcare is a human right raise concerns about his ability to lead an agency tasked with responsible management of government spending. Additionally, Vought's stance that the Impoundment Control Act is unconstitutional, allowing the president to unilaterally withhold funds appropriated by Congress, undermines the system of checks and balances and threatens Congressional spending authority. With such alarming positions, confirming Vought could enable the dismantling of vital social programs and give the president unchecked power over the federal budget. For the preservation of the OMB's integrity and the balance of powers, Vought's nomination should be rejected.
