The United States already observes 10 other federal holidays. Furthermore, seeing as slavery ended on December 6, not June 19, the inclusion of the words "National Independence Day" to Juneteenth creates the appearance of supplanting July 4 as America's Independence Day. This perpetuates a false and dangerous notion that the United States has different days of independence depending on one's race or ancestry, and is consistent with the communist tactic of "dividing the people" along racial lines.

Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows' lawsuit, which describes the committee's actions as "unconstitutional," rightfully points out, "To the extent Congress seeks to utilize subpoenas to investigate and punish perceived criminal wrongdoing, it unconstitutionally intrudes on the prerogatives of the Executive Branch."
