Prohibit congress from interfering in acquisitions programs

I agree to have my idea, not my name or information, posted online.:
Yes

Too often the congress, in an effort to bring money to their constituents, feels it has the right to interfere in acquisitions programs run by the executive branch. This is harmful to the integrity of the acquisitions process because an individual who has not been given a contracting officer's warrant, has not been through any amount of training regarding the acquisition process, has no knowledge of the program (other than how it might affect their re-election efforts), and seems to care little for the total cost of the program feels the need to boost their own ego. Often times the congress demands, directly through law or indirectly by threat, that executive branch acquisitions officials make awards - in flagrant violation of the acquisitions law they themselves approved!
