President for a Day: A Restructured Plan of Action

President for a Day: A Restructured Plan of Action

Phase I: Restore the Foundation (Immediate Executive Actions)

This first phase is about immediate stabilization. It uses the power of the executive branch to stop the bleeding, restore integrity to our core institutions, and begin the process of a national self-assessment.

Executive Order #1: The “Honest Government” Mandate

• Intent: To immediately and decisively sever the link between money, influence, and governance. This is an act of systemic cleansing designed to restore faith in the executive branch by making its operations transparent and its officials accountable.
• Actions:
  1. Lifetime Lobbying Ban: A permanent, lifetime ban on any political appointee in the administration from ever lobbying the agency they worked for. This slams the “revolving door” shut.
  2. Radical Transparency: Mandate that the official calendars and meeting logs of all cabinet-level officials be made public and searchable online within 48 hours. Any meeting with a lobbyist must include a publicly disclosed list of topics discussed.
  3. Open Source Contracting: Require that every federal contract over $1 million be published in a simple, machine-readable format in a single, searchable public database.

Executive Order #2: The “Federal Service Restoration” Mandate

• Intent: To reverse the damage done to the federal workforce and its institutions, signaling that the era of political purges is over and that expertise and institutional knowledge are once again valued.
• Actions:
  1. Reinstatement Offer: Direct the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to extend an offer of immediate reinstatement to all career civil servants who were fired or forced to resign due to politically motivated purges.
  2. Severance and Reparation: For those who do not wish to return, authorize a comprehensive severance package that includes back pay and compensation for wrongful termination.
  3. ICE Accountability Review: Direct the Inspector General of the Department of Homeland Security to immediately initiate a top-to-bottom review of all ICE personnel actions, reports, and enforcement operations conducted under the previous administration, with a mandate to identify and report any and all violations of law or constitutional rights.

Executive Order #3: The “DOGE” Accountability Task Force

• Intent: To conduct a full, independent forensic audit of the “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) and its impact on national security and operational integrity.
• Actions:
  1. Establish Task Force: Create a new, independent task force, reporting directly to the President, comprised of inspectors general from the DoD, intelligence community, and DOJ.
  2. Full-Spectrum Investigation: The task force’s sole mission is to investigate DOGE’s reach. This includes identifying all personnel granted unauthorized access to sensitive systems or facilities (SCIFs), auditing all AI systems integrated by external contractors, and determining the full extent of any potential damage to national security.
  3. Security Clearance Review: The clearance of any individual found to have participated in or enabled these violations will be immediately suspended pending a full investigation.

Executive Order #4: The “Constitutional Stress Test” Commission

• Intent: To begin the long-term work of “future-proofing” the Republic by identifying our systemic vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by a future bad actor. This is a Socratic exercise on a national scale.
• Actions:
  1. Create a new, temporary, and fiercely independent bipartisan commission, comprised of the nation’s top constitutional scholars, historians, ethicists, and technologists.
  2. Their one and only job is to conduct a top-to-bottom “stress test” of the U.S. Constitution. They will be tasked with identifying every single loophole, ambiguity, and outdated clause that has been or could be exploited.
  3. Their final report, delivered to the American people in one year, will be a public “map” of our systemic vulnerabilities, sparking a national conversation about a new generation of amendments.

Phase II: Rebuild the Machinery of Democracy (Legislative Priorities)

This phase is about sending clear, powerful legislative packages to Congress on Day One, aimed at fixing the broken machinery of our democracy itself.

Legislative Priority #1: The American Covenant Act

• Intent: To restore the principle of “one person, one vote” and break the power of partisan extremists and dark money that have corrupted our political system.
• Actions:
  1. End Gerrymandering: Mandate that every state use an independent, non-partisan commission to draw its congressional districts.
  2. Campaign Finance Reform: Propose a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and create a system of public financing for all federal elections to empower small-dollar donors.
  3. National Voting Standards: Establish automatic voter registration for all eligible citizens and make Election Day a national holiday.

Legislative Priority #2: The American Freedom and Integrity Act

• Intent: To protect the fundamental individual liberties of every American and to ensure that all institutions, including religious ones, are held to a single, consistent standard of law.
• Actions:
  1. The Marriage Equality Amendment: Propose a new, simple amendment: “Marriage shall be defined as a contract between two consenting adults. No state shall deny the right to this contract based on race, creed, gender, or sexual orientation.”
  2. The Sensible Cannabis Act: De-schedule marijuana at the federal level, coupled with a massive public health campaign on responsible use.
  3. The Separation of Church and State Enforcement Act: Codify and strengthen the Johnson Amendment, creating clear rules that strip any organization of its tax-exempt status if it engages in partisan political activity.

Legislative Priority #3: The Frivolous Litigation and Legal Integrity Act

• Intent: To restore the integrity of the American legal system by creating powerful deterrents against its use as a tool for harassment, intimidation, and fraud, while protecting the legitimate right of all citizens to seek justice.
• Actions:
  1. Criminalize Malicious Prosecution: Create a new federal felony for “malicious use of the legal process,” targeting those who file lawsuits knowing they have no factual or legal basis, with the primary intent to cause harm.
  2. Establish Financial Accountability: Institute a federal “loser pays” standard for any civil case that a judge deems to be frivolous, requiring the plaintiff to cover the defendant’s full legal costs.
  3. Strengthen Anti-SLAPP Protections: Create a strong, national anti-SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) law to allow for the quick dismissal of lawsuits designed to silence free speech.

Phase III: Rebuild the American Community (Long-Term Initiatives)

This final phase uses the power of the executive branch to plant the seeds for a more compassionate, resilient, and empowered society.

Executive Order #5: The “Housing for Heroes and the Dispossessed” Initiative

• Intent: To make a moral choice to reallocate national resources from enforcement to care, addressing the crisis of veteran homelessness and the displacement of vulnerable citizens.
• Actions: Freeze a significant portion of supplemental ICE funding and re-appropriate it to a new HUD/VA task force for the purpose of building high-quality, affordable housing on surplus federal lands.

Executive Order #6: The “Economic Literacy for All” Commission

• Intent: To deconstruct the dogma that economics is an inaccessible mystery and to empower every citizen with the tools for financial self-reliance. This includes a specific mandate to create educational materials explaining the history and impact of generational wealth disparities.
• Actions: Create a commission of entrepreneurs, financial advisors, and storytellers to produce engaging, “reality-TV” style public broadcasting on financial literacy and to develop an open-source curriculum for all American high schools.

Executive Order #7: The “Ability First” Initiative

• Intent: To transform the relationship between the disabled community and the workforce from one of charity to one of symbiotic partnership, recognizing the immense and often unique talents that disabled individuals bring to the economy.
• Actions: Create a national talent database and matching service for disabled workers and create aggressive tax incentives to reward businesses for hiring, training, and creating accessible workplaces.

Executive Order #8: The “Community Keystone” Initiative

• Intent: To begin the hard, tangible work of building new, more compassionate models of care for our most vulnerable populations, creating a “lighthouse” for the rest of the nation to follow.
• Actions: Establish a high-level commission to identify the first locations and secure the land grants for the pilot programs of the Alzheimer’s Village and the Veteran’s Village, and to create an open-source “blueprint” for these communities.

Executive Order #9: The “Public Health and Dignity” Initiative

• Intent: To formally reframe the nation’s drug addiction crisis as a public health issue, not a criminal justice one, and to replace a failed system of punishment with a proven, compassionate model of care.
• Actions: Create a new Drug Dependency Administration (DDA), separate from the DOJ. This new agency will be tasked with establishing and overseeing a national network of treatment centers based on the harm-reduction model, providing safe supply, counseling, and medical care to keep people out of jail and on a path to recovery.

Executive Order #10: The “Justice in Corrections” Mandate

• Intent: To begin the process of dismantling the for-profit prison industry and restoring accountability and integrity to the justice system.
• Actions: Terminate all federal contracts with private prison corporations and establish an independent commission to investigate all deaths and allegations of mistreatment within that system.

Executive Order #11: The “Healthcare Integrity” Task Force

• Intent: To restore the principle that healthcare is a service, not a commodity, by creating a powerful new federal body to hold the health insurance industry accountable for its failures.
• Actions: Create a new federal commission within the Department of Health and Human Services with the sole mission of investigating the systemic issue of insurance denials and delays. This task force will have the authority to levy massive fines and recommend criminal charges against any company found to be engaging in practices that lead to the mistreatment or death of patients for profit.

To immediately restore faith in the integrity of the Republic and begin the long-term work of rebuilding a just, compassionate, and resilient society.

Phase I: Restore the Foundation (Immediate Executive Actions)

This phase is about immediate, decisive actions that a President can take without Congress to signal a fundamental shift in the nature of government.

Executive Order #1: The “Honest Government” Mandate

• Institutes a lifetime lobbying ban for all political appointees in the administration.
• Enforces radical transparency by making all high-level meeting logs and federal contracts public and searchable.
• Detailed Rationale: This is the first and most important act. The “revolving door” between government service and high-paying lobbying jobs is a primary engine of corruption. It creates a system where public servants make decisions not based on the public good, but on their future employment prospects. This order slams that door shut. Radical transparency is the necessary disinfectant. A government that operates in the shadows cannot be held accountable. By making its workings public, we restore the principle that the government is a servant of the people, not a private club for the powerful.

Executive Order #2: The “Federal Service Restoration” Mandate

• Extends an offer of immediate reinstatement to all career civil servants wrongfully terminated wrongfully.
• Authorizes a comprehensive severance and reparation package for those who do not wish to return.
• Directs the DHS Inspector General to begin a top-to-bottom review of LEO personnel actions and reports associated to abuse of power, racism, any hatred.
• Detailed Rationale: A functioning republic depends on a professional, apolitical civil service. The recent purges have destroyed decades of institutional knowledge and replaced it with unqualified loyalists. This order is an act of restoring that expertise. It signals that our government values competence over cronyism. The review is a necessary first step in restoring the rule of law to an agency that has been allowed to operate at times with impunity.

Executive Order #3: The “Federal Integrity and Accountability Review”

• Initiates an immediate, independent investigation into the formation, funding, and actions of the “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE). This includes a full audit of its reach, the systems it affected, and the personnel who had control.
• Orders the immediate suspension of the security clearances of all non-governmental personnel and political appointees who participated in DOGE, pending the results of the investigation.
• Mandates a reversal and removal of any AI systems or protocols integrated into government functions by DOGE that are found to be insecure or operating outside of legal and ethical guidelines.
• Authorizes the hiring of necessary personnel to conduct this comprehensive review across all affected sectors.
• Detailed Rationale: This is a direct and necessary action to restore the rule of law and operational security within the executive branch. It sends an unmistakable signal that no individual, regardless of their wealth or political connections, is above the law. It is an act of holding power accountable and restoring the integrity of our national security apparatus.

Executive Order #4: The “Constitutional Stress Test” Commission

• Creates a fiercely independent, bipartisan commission of top legal and historical minds.
• Their one-year mission is to conduct a top-to-bottom “stress test” of the U.S. Constitution, identifying every loophole and vulnerability.
• Detailed Rationale: This is a profound act of humility and foresight. The Constitution is a brilliant document, but it is not perfect. It was written in a different era and could not anticipate the challenges of the modern world. This commission’s job is to be the ultimate “cartographer of chaos”—to map out every potential point of failure before a bad actor can exploit it. It is a Socratic exercise on a national scale, designed to spark a new era of constitutional reform.

Phase II: Launch the Mission (Legislative Priorities for Congress)

This phase is about sending a clear message to Congress about the long-term legislative agenda. These are the big, structural changes that require a national consensus.

Legislative Priority #1: The American Covenant Act

• Ends partisan gerrymandering by mandating independent commissions.
• Proposes a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and get dark money out of politics.
• Establishes national standards for voting, including automatic voter registration and making Election Day a national holiday.
• Detailed Rationale: This is the single most important piece of legislation. It fixes the broken machinery of democracy itself. Gerrymandering creates “safe” seats that reward extremism and punish moderation. Citizens United unleashed a torrent of unaccountable corporate money that has drowned out the voices of ordinary citizens. And suppressing the vote is a direct assault on the core principle of self-government. This Act is the prerequisite for solving any other problem.

Legislative Priority #2: The American Freedom and Integrity Act

• Proposes a new amendment to make marriage a contract between any two consenting adults.
• Begins the process of de-scheduling marijuana at the federal level.
• Codifies and strengthens the Johnson Amendment to enforce the separation of church and state.
• Detailed Rationale: This bill is a powerful statement about individual liberty and social justice. It ends the government’s intrusion into the private lives of its citizens, it terminates a failed and racially biased “war on drugs,” and it restores the foundational principle that tax-exempt status cannot be used as a shield for partisan political activity. It is a direct application of the First Covenant.

Phase III: Rebuild the Nation (Long-Term Executive Initiatives)

This phase uses executive power to launch the ambitious, multi-year projects that will tangibly improve the lives of citizens.

Executive Order #5: The “Community Keystone” Initiative

• Establishes a high-level commission to secure federal land and create the blueprints for the first Alzheimer’s Village and Veteran’s Village.
• Detailed Rationale: This is a powerful, visible symbol of the administration’s commitment to compassionate, innovative, community-based solutions. It moves beyond the failed, institutional models of care and invests in a symbiotic system where community and purpose are a part of the healing process. It is The Human Covenant made manifest.

Executive Order #6: The “Housing for Heroes and the Dispossessed” Initiative

• Re-appropriates a significant portion of supplemental ICE funds to a new HUD/VA joint task force for building affordable housing.
• Detailed Rationale: This is a direct application of the “moral budget” principle. A nation’s budget is a moral document, and this order makes a clear choice: we will prioritize housing our own veterans and citizens over funding an agency that has been used to terrorize families. It is a direct shift from a system of enforcement to a system of care.

Executive Order #7: The “Ability First” Initiative

• Creates a national talent database and tax incentives to connect disabled citizens with employers.
• Detailed Rationale: This is a practical and compassionate initiative that moves beyond simple charity to economic empowerment. It deconstructs the dogma that “disability equals inability” and unlocks a vast pool of untapped human potential, which is a moral and economic imperative.

Executive Order #8: The “Economic Literacy for All” Commission

• Creates a commission to develop engaging, “reality TV” style public broadcasting and an open-source curriculum to teach financial literacy to all Americans.
• A core focus of this commission will be to deconstruct the concept of “generational wealth.”
• Detailed Rationale: This is a long-term investment in the resilience and self-sufficiency of the citizenry. A population that does not understand how money and power work is a population that is easily controlled. This initiative is an act of liberation, giving every citizen the tools they need to build their own prosperity and to understand the historical systems that have denied that opportunity to others.

Executive Order #9: The “Justice in Corrections” Mandate

• Terminates all federal contracts with for-profit prisons and begins the process of federalizing those facilities.
• Detailed Rationale: This is a moral imperative. A system that allows corporations to profit from human incarceration is a system that is incentivized to keep people in cages. It is a fundamental violation of the First Covenant. This order ends that perverse incentive and begins the work of restoring integrity to our justice system.

Executive Order #10: The “Public Health and Dignity” Initiative

• Establishes a new federal agency, the “Drug Dependency and Treatment Administration” (DDTA), separate from the Department of Justice.
• Mandates a shift in national policy from criminalization to a public health-based, harm-reduction model.
• Authorizes the DDTA to launch pilot programs modeled on the successful Norwegian system.
• Detailed Rationale: This is a direct assault on the failed “war on drugs.” It is a pragmatic, compassionate, and evidence-based approach designed to save lives, reduce crime, and treat addiction as the disease it is, not the moral failing it has been portrayed as. It is an act of restoring dignity to our most vulnerable citizens.
