I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent use of the White House grounds for a commercial promoting a car company. This is not only an embarrassing and disgraceful misuse of one of our nation’s most sacred institutions, but it also raises serious constitutional and ethical concerns. The President of the United States, as a public servant, is bound by the Constitution and the laws governing the proper use of federal property. The use of the White House—maintained by taxpayer dollars—for what amounts to corporate advertising is a blatant violation of 5 U.S.C. § 7324 (Hatch Act) and the broader principles outlined in Article II of the U.S. Constitution. The White House is not a marketing set; it is the people’s house, meant to serve as the seat of the executive branch, not a backdrop for private industry. This blatant disregard for ethical standards and legal boundaries sets a dangerous precedent, blurring the line between public office and private interests. The President should be focused on serving the American people, not lending the prestige of the office to commercial endeavors. This action degrades the dignity of the presidency and undermines public trust in our institutions. I urge you and your colleagues in Congress to take a stand against this misuse of government property. Whether through formal censure, legislative reinforcement of existing ethical guidelines, or demanding accountability, it is imperative that we reaffirm that the White House is not for sale. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to your response on how you plan to address this alarming breach of presidential decorum and constitutional responsibility.
