Each step, from border security to government transparency, strengthens the principles of limited government, accountability, and justice. With control of all branches of government, the opportunity for meaningful change is here.
In four years, Joe Biden took a prospering nation and turned it into a morass of decay and depression, and we were helpless to prevent it. We must never let it happen again, nor must we ever find ourselves helpless to stop it from happening. Here is a first pass at a list of things we must do to protect our republic.
The presidency of the United States has immense power, but without proper safeguards, it can be misused, jeopardizing the very principles that sustain our republic. The damage observed during President Biden’s administration has highlighted the urgent need to prevent unilateral executive actions (i.e. actions taken without the consent of the legislature) from harming the nation. This article outlines initial reforms to ensure no future president—good or bad—can destabilize the country, emphasizing limiting executive overreach and improving government accountability.
Remember, any power a good president has, will also be power that a bad president will have.
The U.S. system of government was designed with the knowledge of the fallen nature of mankind, which is why we have the separation of powers. That is also why all governmental decisions must be made by those we elect every 2 years. The house. The President, i.e. the Executive Branch is only supposed to execute whatever is required to enforce those laws made by those we voted for.
In 2025, we will start with control of the Executive Office, Judiciary, and Congress. This is our chance to act decisively to enact these changes. If we don’t, Americans will know that the Republicans are all talk and no show. While the Republicans are in control in reality, this is not a partisan issue. No rational person will be able to argue against these laws.
Deterring Harm to U.S. Citizens Abroad
The United States must establish a zero-tolerance policy against threats to its citizens anywhere in the world. Announce that if a single innocent American is harmed in a terrorist attack by non-US Citizens, the full weight of the U.S. Armed Forces will be deployed to eliminate by capture or execution of the leadership of the responsible parties.
Restricting Presidential War Powers
In the days of the pony express, physical mail, and inherent delays in travel and communication, it was necessary to give the president the ability to take immediate emergency action in the case of an attack on our nation without waiting for Congress to convene. But in modern times, every individual is not more than 10 seconds away. Congress can be issued emergency phones that are biometrically verified, allowing all members to assemble and vote remotely to grant the president any required war powers within hours. There is no need for any non-Congress legislated military action except in the certain cases like an EMP attack on the USA. Limit the Presidential Drawdown Authority (which allows the executive branch to engage in military actions without congressional oversight) to only situations that would prevent congressional approval like an EMP Attack.
Any use of military force besides those exceptions stated (and item 1) must require:
• Congressional approval.
• Full transparency regarding funding and objectives.
Enacting Immutable (Unchangeable) Immigration Policies
No single president should have the ability to overhaul border security or immigration enforcement policies unilaterally. Nobody should be able to open our borders and let criminals in. It’s a flaw in our nations’ security. Imagine a flawed president (we don’t really have to imagine that anymore) or a blackmailed president or worse, a Manchurian Candidate. The future of our republic should never hinge on teh sanity or good intentions of a single man. New comprehensive legislation must be passed, which includes:
• Mandatory E-Verify for employers.
• Physical and technological border barriers.
• Fair and efficient asylum processing to prevent abuse.
• A migrant farmworker program for critical jobs, with workers having biometric registration that allows them to enter and exit the border quickly.
• Mandatory enforcement of the existing immigration and border laws. With the opportunity for any affected citizen, city, county, or state to sue the government for loss of life, financial hardships or loss of business due to non-enforcement of such laws.
These laws should be insulated from executive orders, ensuring long-term stability.
Banning Government-Media Collusion Legislation
Restore public trust by eliminating all forms of collaboration between government agencies and the media:
• Whistleblowers: Those exposing such misconduct will receive a $1,000,000 reward.
• Penalties: Any government employee involved in media collusion must face immediate termination, loss of pension and benefits, and criminal charges.
• Transparency: Media organizations complicit in collusion should face legal and reputational penalties of up to 50% of their last year’s annual revenue.
Disbanding Inefficient Federal Departments and Selling Off Land
Federal overreach has resulted in bloated, ineffective agencies that duplicate state-level functions. Departments like Education, Interior, Energy, Housing and Urban Development, and Labor should be dissolved, with responsibilities returned to state governments. All federally owned land, except for those currently occupied by federal buildings, must be parceled into 20-acre lots (with right of way) and sold to the highest US citizen bidder. One could argue that it must be a single US Citizen not a conglomerate like Black Rock.
Reforming the FBI & CIA
To prevent the horrific banana republic like partisan abuses like those observed during Trump’s presidency:
• Refocus their mission on just law enforcement and counterintelligence.
• Create a revolving, non-permanent committee of senators and representatives with equal representation of parties and seniority to review all FBI and CIA activities
Reforming Government Employment
The federal workforce must be constrained and operate with efficiency and accountability:
Banning Government Worker Unions
Unlike private unions, government unions can bribe politicians by endorsing them in exchange for raises and increase benefits. Legislation should:
Revising the Filibuster
The filibuster should remain a check on majority power but require:
Strengthening Lobbying Transparency
Amend the Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA) to:
• Mandate that all lobbying meetings occur in government-controlled conference rooms.
• Require public livestreams and transcripts of all the lobbying.
• Impose severe criminal (jail time) penalties for secretive lobbying on both the lobbyist and the elected official.
Extending the Revolving Door Ban to 7 years
Strengthen existing rules preventing legislators from transitioning into lucrative lobbying jobs. Harsh penalties must deter unethical career shifts. Extend the delay between a government job and a lobbying position to seven (7) years.
Ending Corporate Favoritism
The government must stop picking winners and losers in the economy. It is not the governments’ job to pick an industry or an area of research to promote. The government is not composed of economic, market or technological geniuses who know better than the free market:
• No tax benefits are to be given to one corporation or industry without offering the same benefit to every small business and sole proprietor in every industry.
• Ban any financial or trade incentives or disincentives targeting specific companies or industries. Either the product is legal or it is illegal nothing else.
• No incentives or rebates can be given for any industry. If an industry can’t survive in the free market, it should not survive.
• The US Government cannot support, fund or approve of any studies, except for those directly related to national defense.
Reforming Government Patent Ownership
In the theme of not picking winners and losers; all non-military/non-defense research and/or patents funded by even $1 of taxpayer dollars must:
• Be freely available for public use by any U.S. citizen (foreign citizens must apply for and, if granted, purchase U.S. government licenses).
• Except in issues of defense, the government is not allowed to indicate their willingness to purchase any technology without making a public announcement. Any citizen or U.S. company is permitted to compete to produce that product or do the research for that technology.
Repealing the Patriot Act and the NDAA
The Patriot Act and NDAA infringe on inalienable rights and freedoms. Repeal them to restore privacy rights and protect against government overreach. Add laws in place to prevent and prohibit future overreach in the event of another “emergency” on our shores.
Protecting Peaceful Protesters
The FACE act must equally apply to every type of protest to ensure equality in treatment without political preferences. Revamp the FACE Act to ensure civil disobedience protesters are shielded from unjust prosecution while maintaining protections against actual harassment.
Addressing False Claims in Divorce
False claims (like about abuse) in divorce cases devastate families and are ignored on purpose by judges. Implement mandatory federal penalties for proven false allegations, reducing perjury and misuse of the court system and the gross violation of the rights of innocents.
Repeal the Johnson Amendment
The Johnson amendment was made to stop non-profits from being able to get involved in politics. While not originally intended for churches, it has effectively muzzled churches and brain washed pastors to become one of the sheep and not a sheepdog. If the IRS were to even try to implement the Johnson Amendment, it would lose in the Supreme Court. Inalienable rights are exactly that. Inalienable! Not even you can give up an inalienable right. However, the IRS by just pretending to wield a blunt foam sword, has been effective in scaring pastors from taking their prophetic role like Samuel, Elijah, Jeremiah and Nathanial. Congress should put an end to this charade and repeal it.
Simplifying the Tax System
Appoint Ron Paul as Treasury Secretary or in some other capacity to oversee a complete overhaul of the tax code, prioritizing simplicity and fairness. Allow Ron Paul to determine the methodology to shut down the Federal Reserve and cancel all the artificially created debts by the Federal Reserve for issuing us some color-printed paper yet demanding a repayment in real goods and services. We only owe them the cost of printing. I.e. the cost of the ink and paper and the time on the machines used to print them. In an electronic age even this disappears.
Progressive taxes were Marx’s idea (Communist Manifesto 1848). Flat taxes and sales taxes while better, are still unfair, as they have no relationship to the level of services the government provides to you as an individual. This critical feedback loop is needed. So, start laying the foundations for the gradual move to a no-income tax system and only charge fees for services. That is, if government provides you with a particular necessary service, you must then pay for that precise service for yourself. You do not need to pay for services to others. For example, National Defense is considered a necessary public service. Housing, food, and education are not, and you can choose to participate in the latter, but not in the former.
Evidence indicates that with no income taxes, charitable giving will soar, and private charities could easily cover the entire cost of welfare as they are 6x more efficient than government charity. (see www.J3iP.com for details).
Reforming the presidency and government isn’t
about undermining the office but ensuring it remains accountable to the people. By enacting these reforms, the United States can safeguard itself against the whims of any future leader and create a foundation for lasting stability and prosperity. We fought a war to stop being in servitude to a monarch.
This is just the beginning of the discussion. There are many more reforms that could strengthen the republic, but space and attention spans require us to stop here. If you have other laws and protections you’d like to see enabled, email them to me at protectliberty@vac.orgThey may show up here in future columns.
Each step, from border security to government transparency, strengthens the principles of limited government, accountability, and justice. With control of all branches of government, the opportunity for meaningful change is now. It’s time in 2025 to act decisively to protect the republic for generations to come.
The question is: Can we apply enough pressure to make this happen?
“We the people” have to make that happen.
It’s on us. to
Turning Point USA was never meant to be “Charlie Kirk USA.” It was never designed as one man’s pulpit or a monument to his ego. And that, precisely, is why it flourished.
Because when we build systems that monitor themselves, we create a government that is efficient, transparent, and truly accountable to the people it serves. This is how we honor the legacy of those who built this nation on the principle of government of the people, by the people, and for
This fight is about more than Fauci—it’s about ensuring that public officials are held accountable, truth prevails, and the victims of the pandemic are never forgotten. The pursuit of justice is long overdue, and it’s time to demand answers and accountability for the sake of America’s future. Fauci must be
Nobody ever said Trump was perfect. As I noted, of course, he’s no saint, no Billy Graham. But he may be an adulterous David, a Solomon, a power-hungry Cyrus, a self-aggrandizing Nebuchadnezzar. And since we do not know what the future will bring, we must remain ever vigilant—and we are
