Protecting Democracy and Preventing Corruption

Proposal for a Fourth Branch of Government: The Constitutional Oversight Branch

To further strengthen our democracy, we propose the establishment of an independent Constitutional Oversight Branch. This new branch would be dedicated to ensuring that all government actions adhere strictly to constitutional principles.

Purpose and Mission

The Constitutional Oversight Branch would serve as a safeguard against overreach by any existing branch of government, ensuring that the foundational principles of our nation are upheld.

Structure and Independence

This branch would operate independently from the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches. Its leadership would be selected through a bipartisan process, ensuring impartiality and dedication to upholding the Constitution.

Key Responsibilities

• Monitoring Government Actions: Reviewing executive orders, legislative acts, and judicial decisions for constitutional compliance.
• Investigative Authority: Conducting investigations into potential constitutional violations or abuses of power within the government.
• Enforcement Powers: Initiating legal proceedings against individuals or entities found to be in violation of constitutional mandates, ensuring accountability.

Benefits to the Public

Establishing this branch would provide citizens with an additional layer of assurance that their rights are protected and that government officials are held to the highest standards of accountability.

Path to Implementation

Recognizing that creating a new branch of government requires a constitutional amendment, we are committed to building bipartisan support and engaging in extensive public discourse to achieve this significant structural enhancement to our democracy.
