The executive branch
The presidency is a single office chosen every four years through the Electoral College. Even a winning ticket is typically the active choice of only a minority of eligible adults — most people never cast a vote for the sitting president. Here are the current officeholders and what they have signed.
Donald J. Trump R
47th President of the United States
JD Vance R
Vice President of the United States

Petition the executive branch
The president answers to the whole country at once. You can write the White House directly, and — because the Senate confirms the cabinet, judges, and ambassadors who carry out executive power — press your own senators on those choices.
