Restoring our Government
john mccombs believes in
I don’t need to reiterate how damaging Trump has been to this country. You can turn on the news for that. However, the system that led a large chunk of our country to choose Trump is still in place. It’s a system of ‘pay-to-play’ backhanded deals designed to do two things: keep those in power there and keep everyone else out.
Not anymore.
We can be a country with a more representative government. We can get rid of big dollar donors buying elections. We can have a Supreme Court that holds itself and all its members accountable. We can have politicians that have to actually earn your vote instead of camping on a safe seat for decades and banking on their seniority to get opportunities.
Here’s how:
Ending Congressional ownership of stocks and crypto
Expanding the Supreme Court by four justices
Putting the authority of the US Marshals under the direction of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court with no pathway to jurisdiction to the President or Congress
No emergency powers can be granted to a President via laws that were passed in excess of 20 years ago
Emergency powers of the President can only last 20 days without a filibuster-proof Congressional approval and then approval must be revisited every 180 days afterward
A President is limited in their amount of executive orders and then must go to Congress for approval for any additional orders.
A President can only recommend pardons. They must be approved by a simple majority vote
Code of ethics for the Supreme Court that must be signed by every serving justice
Supreme Court justices can only serve a maximum of 26 years on the bench with a new justice replacing the oldest justice every 2 years.
Term limits for Senators and Representatives: 20 years for Representatives; 24 years for Senators in total
Pass the Freedom to Vote Act
No excuse mail-in ballots
Mailed Federal reminders to vote and steps to register to vote
Election day is made into a Federal holiday. Hourly workers must be allotted sufficient time off to vote
Repealing Citizens United
