Restoring our Government

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
