Shouldn't Congress have to sign off on seizing a major private company to keep power from running wild? Wouldn't that democratic check protect private enterprise and prevent abuse in a crisis?
Even in crisis, power needs peer review; congressional approval acts as real time checks on necessity and proportionality, preserving markets and public trust.
Seizing a private company by presidential fiat is arbitrary tyranny, a betrayal of rational equality. Private property shields all, especially women, from capricious power and keeps government honest.
Power is best kept in check by the people’s representatives; even in crisis, the president should seek congressional approval. That balance guards liberty while allowing decisive action.
