President or King? Our President has been acting more like a monarch than an elected official. That stops now. Our plan limits his power.

Commits to curbing presidential authority through the plan.

A Better Way : U.S. Representative Buddy Carter

Evidence

Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) introduced the TOO LATE Act, described by his office as “a bill granting the president explicit power to fire the Chair of the Federal Reserve.” Carter said, “With this bill, we will restore proper oversight of the Federal Reserve and give the president another tool in his tool chest to strengthen and grow the economy.”

Carter advanced legislation that would broaden presidential authority, which cuts against a promise to limit the president's power.

After voting against H. Con. Res. 38, Carter said it would be “inappropriate and dangerous for Congress to hamstring the executive while Iran plants missiles aimed at U.S. bases” and that President Trump “was well within his authority to authorize military action against Iran.”

Carter opposed a War Powers resolution that would have constrained presidential military action, signaling opposition to limiting executive power.

The resolution was introduced in the House to direct the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove U.S. Armed Forces from unauthorized hostilities in Iran.

This is the underlying congressional effort to limit presidential war-making authority; Carter later voted against it, so the evidence points away from fulfillment.

Assessments

never later_term

The available evidence points against fulfillment of the promise to limit presidential power. In later House service after the 2016 campaign, Carter opposed a War Powers resolution that would have constrained presidential military authority regarding Iran, and he introduced legislation to give the president explicit power to fire the Federal Reserve chair. Those actions materially expand or defend presidential authority rather than limit it. There is no evidence here of a serious legislative or executive attempt by Carter to deliver the promised limitation, so no effort badge is warranted.
