Principle 16: Government Branches __
P16 Set 1: WTP’s Preamble __
- __ WTP’s COTUS takes about forty minutes to read; it is not complicated.
- __ ‘We the people of the United States’ (WTP) are the first words of our COTUS. That establishes WTP as the rightful owners of the Union, and that is where WTP’s COTUS begins, not Article I.
- __ ‘We the people’ is followed by ‘in order to create a more perfect union.’ Our COTUS defines a ‘more perfect union,’ not a contract to be parsed by lawyers to grow political party power.
- __ Next, it says, ‘… and to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity’ (all future generations). The whole point of our DOI/COTUS system is Liberty for WTP.
- __ Our DOI/COTUS and our entire USA belong to WTP. Our governments own nothing; they only hold assets in trust for WTP.
- __ WTP’s COTUS was the first attempt in history to enumerate the ‘Principles of Effective Governing in Liberty.’ Nammo (Ur, 2100 BC) and Hammurabi (Babylon, 1754 BC) were the first to establish enumerated laws. Moses created the Mosaic Law around 1250 BC, and the USA started with it.
- __ Our COTUS means nothing without its Preamble and WTP’s DOI in front. Our representatives and judges must refer to WTP’s ‘DOI/COTUS’ as a unit.
- __ Every COTUS Article must be interpreted through the lens of Liberty in our DOI and COTUS Preamble and limit our government’s power over WTP and its presence in WTP’s Lives.
- __ Somehow, a federal government that has zero COTUS authority to tell a local school what it can do has been allowed to send money to local schools, provided the schools do what the federal government tells them to do with it. That is wrong on its face.
- __ Why did statement 9 happen? It was so our federal government could take control of WTP’s local schools and education to dumb down Liberty. That is what happened, so it must be why.
- __ The ‘how it happened’ is political parties and Progressivism serving their self-interest, not WTP’s Liberty.
- __ WTP’s COTUS does not replace our DOI; it continues it.
- __ Our DOI/COTUS was our founders’ enumeration of Governing Principles. It spelled out how WTP’s government in Liberty would be structured to protect WTP’s Liberty and function as a Republic.
- __ The power of our DOI/COTUS is that no government agent can overrule its stated Governing Principles (Laws of Nature).
- __ Our Founders built in the process for making our USA more perfect: COTUS Amendments.
- __ COTUS Amendments are the only method for changing WTP’s DOI/COTUS, and WTP can only allow that option for change.
- __ WePEG1787 implements our DOI/COTUS with WTP’s consent, not changing it. Everyone can score it and reveal who they are. WTP are sovereign, and our support for WePEG1787 candidates is consent.
- __ WTP must have Liberty-minded representatives with high WePEG1787 scores and hold them accountable with zero loyalty to a political party.
- __ WTP must always couple our DOI with our COTUS as WTP’s overlying unalienable Rights. WTP cannot pursue happiness when our government takes it away.
P16 Set 2: WTP’s COTUS __
- __ Article 1 defines the legislature as a bicameral entity to reduce the centralization of power.
- __ Article 2 defines the POTUS, starting with the use of ‘Electors’ in each state to finalize elections. That structure was meant to eliminate any hint of democracy.
- __ Article 2 says, ‘he (POTUS) may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments.’ It is crystal clear that Department Officers have no independent power.
- __ And yet, political parties have penetrated every crevice in our COTUS and destroyed WTP’s Right to consent to our government with Department Officers writing Laws, as in the ACA.
P16 Set 3: The POTUS Cabinet __
- __ To ratify our DOI/COTUS, the ‘Bill of Rights,’ ten Rights of WTP were enumerated. The keyword here is not ‘Rights ’; the keyword is ‘enumerated.’ It means listed and counted—ten things our government must do with little wiggle room.
- __ Our federal government must restrain itself in seven of the ten cases. Two are for WTP to enjoy: a speedy trial and a trial by jury.
- __ The tenth was a do not: ‘The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.’ Notice ‘reserved to WTP’ at the end.
- __ WTP must dramatically reduce the size and cost of our federal government to continue as a nation of Liberty.
- __ The POTUS cabinet has become a Trojan Horse. P1 added the Treasury, Secretary of State, Defense, and Attorney General departments. Today, there are fifteen Cabinets.
- __ Education, Labor, and HUD do not belong there. There are no federal issues, especially in education, which is on the way out. But don’t stop there.
- __ There is a case to be made for one department to facilitate communication between the states to compare ideas in the three listed departments, but zero federal action is appropriate.
- __ HHS, because of the potential harm, justifies a comprehensive department, but only to help save lives with a forum and communication for doctors and scientists with expertise. COVID-19 was a debacle of monumental proportions and must never be allowed again. Doctors treat patients, not governments, full stop.
- __ The minute our federal government thinks about our weight, it crosses the boundary. But it all starts with political parties seeking power. Schools teach health. But political party unions now write curricula to advance party depravity.
- __ Energy calls for federal help with cross-state natural resources, such as waterways, due to their scale. But only to facilitate an entity’s use of federal land. The Tennessee Valley Authority is a good example.
- __ The rapid growth of AI presents a future need for large amounts of power. Electric vehicles need a large amount of power. In Liberty, supply and demand planning, etc., are driven by manufacturers.
- __ When a political party government decreed electric vehicles, they unleashed a monumental disaster with zero planning skills or information. The Liberty government’s goal is to facilitate WTP’s growth, not government power, and only Liberty representatives can accomplish that.
- __ Nowhere does the Executive Branch have the right to finish legislation without a final review from Congress. Congress cannot transfer its duties to the Executive Branch, as it did with Public Law No. 111-148 (ACA). That was a monumental breach of duty by our Congress. Whatever the Executive branch adds to legislation must go back to Congress for approval.
- __ In general, our federal government should not be doing extensive, complex services because it doesn’t have the expertise, except in defense.
P16 Set 4: WTP’s SCOTUS __
- __ WTP’s SCOTUS protects WTP from our government legislation, not to help our political parties weaken our Liberty.
- __ The concept that our SCOTUS should be impartial on legislation is absurd. They must be committed to Liberty when reading WTP’s DOI/COTUS. The entire purpose of over a million souls dying for Liberty was not to let SCOTUS hand it over to the enemy.
- __ The General Welfare Clause, Article 1, Section 8, is the Trojan Horse most often used against WTP. It states, ‘and provide for the common defense and general Welfare of the United States.’
- __ ‘General’ and ‘enumerated’ are direct opposites. There is no chance that our Founders built a ‘more perfect nation’ and included a clause that could destroy it all with generalities.
- __ All of these arguments have been made before but were ignored because political parties want the power, and there were no other Principles to back them up, leaving WTP helpless. WePEG1787 and Liberty-Civics Populism are the only cure.
- __ The Principle that ‘Article 1, Section 8 cannot be used to enumerate any program from whole cloth’ can start as a WePEG1787 Principle.
- __ WTP’s SCOTUS and lesser courts need a Liberty overhaul. With 250 years of political party-based cases, they must adjust for Liberty’s ‘new birth of Liberty’ in 2026.
- __ Liberty requires a neutral third party to settle opinion differences between the branches and legislation in the courts.
- __ Doctors live with ‘first, do no harm,’ and SCOTUS also needs that rule.
- __ WTP’s only power in our Liberty Government is voting for our representatives. WTP must regain control over our representatives so they can choose and approve only Liberty-minded judges.
- __ Our SCOTUS must start with WTP’s unalienable Rights in our DOI and COTUS Preamble in every decision, not parsing only our COTUS Articles for nuance.
- __ All DOI/COTUS interpretations must be with clear text only and ‘enumerated powers,’ not parsed for imaginary interpretations.
- __ If legislation requires our DOI/COTUS to be parsed by our SCOTUS, the legislation needs to be sent back to the legislature until it doesn’t need parsing.
- __ A lawsuit is the only way to access our SCOTUS. In almost all major legislative cases, the divide is between political parties, forcing the federal government to do things it should not. The only solution is to substitute political parties with WePEG1787.
- __ SCOTUS judges 1 & 3 are rock solid for Liberty on our DOI/COTUS, and 4, 5 & 9 believe they are the DOI/COTUS. They must be replaced because they are partisan and not loyal to WTP’s Liberty in our DOI/COTUS.
- __ Judges 6-8 lean in the right direction, but they still need a restraint on ruling against WTP’s Liberty in legislation.
- __ Judge 2, SCOTUS-Chief Judge, is a disgrace to Liberty and should resign. Too many decisions take into account the Court itself. His ACA decision mandated his resignation, even though all he had to do was send the bill back to the legislature. Completing the ACA by the Executive Branch also should have been a huge red flag.
- __ One party wants to pack the court to gain an unconstitutional advantage when the reality is that SCOTUS 4, 5 & 9 need to be replaced for violating their oath to uphold our DOI/COTUS.
- __ DOI/COTUS Article 3, Section 1, ‘The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour.’ Judges are for life if they wish.
- __ Article II, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution: ‘The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.’
- __ Judges are ‘civil officers.’ At what point is violating their oath a crime? When it destroys WTP’s Liberty.
- __ If our representatives are loyal to a political party, they will choose and approve judges who bend and lean toward the parties and party power. Judge 9 is the least qualified in modern history, the perfect ‘party-judge.’
- __ WTP’s biggest SCOTUS disaster was their removing TRUTH from elections when it is the bedrock of our USA. Why? Political party power.
- __ When WTP’s SCOTUS separated our DOI from our COTUS, they usurped the sovereignty of our Liberty.
- __ SCOTUS ‘parsing’ WTP’s COTUS words is un-DOI/COTUS because it is making laws.
- __ The Dodd decision proves WTP’s SCOTUS makes huge mistakes because of party power. Roe v. Wade was a disastrous decision because it was wrong and stepped far beyond the case. Our SCOTUS must not be allowed to make decisions like Roe.
- __ The fact that a party threatens to pack the SCOTUS with party judges to get their demands is a prima facie case to eliminate political party power from WTP’s government.
- __ WePEG1787 is WTP’s only solution to restore our Liberty.
P16 Set 5: Reclaiming Our Republic __
- __ WTP must reset our USA back to state power. WTP must gut the federal government with Liberty representatives in the next two elections.
- __ The States in our founding were sovereign entities. They only gave up control of interstate commerce in exchange for national security. Even the right to execute murderers, the ultimate in violating one’s right to Life, remained with the States.
- __ The States did not buy into a Leviathan of the federal government in their founding. WTP’s individual lives are about our states, counties, and cities where we live. WTP do not live on federal property.
- __ In a clear-text reading, our federal government has zero right to do anything not expressly enumerated in our DOI/COTUS. Social Security, health care, and education have no place in our federal government. Nor does it involve investing, loaning, or giving money to anyone or any group. That all competes with and destroys the more efficient, expert private sector.
- __ Every penny taken from WTP has a handling cost. We give a dollar to the federal government, and we get 92 cents in product to start. Federal money sent to states to be sent to counties and cities produces 72 cents in product to start. That is an enormous amount of useless waste spent in the name of power.
- __ That is also why our government cannot stimulate our economy. We lose 8% to 28% just trying.
- __ There is zero need for any new federal law except to repeal existing law. It is time to shrink our federal government, not grow it.
- __ By enumerating WePEG1787 for the first time, WTP will have a source of courage and a tool to measure the performance of our representatives.
- __ Our DOI/COTUS has a built-in means to adjust and improve Liberty as needed. Ending slavery and racial discrimination and establishing voting rights are significant upgrades from our founding.
- __ Prohibition and the income tax are two massive failures. Why? They had no guiding Principles.
- __ Our answer as WTP is NO to everything our governments want to do to improve our lives.
- __ Government cannot improve our lives without experience, innate skills, intelligence, or resources. Other topics expand on that concept.
- __ Our Liberty calls for a massive effort at the ballot box and election process to re-establish our founding Principles and ensure that our Liberty is never lost again to either a GL PSYOP or apathy.
- __ The forces against Liberty and Prosperity continue to strengthen, and WTP must also strengthen.
- __ WePEG1787 is the only debate forum where WTP can save our Liberty.
