Abstract This proposed amendment aims to place a Constitutional boundary between Congress; halt the expansion of the executive branch, its cabinet, and their subagencies; initiate priority to the public, uphold the rights of the individual, and protect national economic security. A Constitutional amendment will propound civil security against groundless Congressional intervention, simultaneously preventing unwarranted Executive decisions. Three specific prerequisites remain to successfully facilitate civic dominion back to the people. First, an audit of annual appropriations must occur with strict scrutiny. Federal agencies have historically been over-appropriated beyond necessity, which has led to unmerited bureaucratic endeavors. This proposal demands consideration of the immediate needs of America’s present, dismissing the eternal needs of an interminably indiscernible future. Strict statutes will avert the unbridled lavish appropriations witnessed in America’s modern House Appropriations bills, year after year. Second, permanent statutes, rather than provisions, will be enacted on each agency; Federal agencies will no longer be granted extravagant welfare, obviating exorbitant spending. A statute of limitations must be placed on the maximum length of research allotted to each agency, discouraging equal focus on experimental alternative solutions. Finally, each regulatory agency must be subjected to a rigorous system of checks and balances, emboldened with distinct responsibility to enact oversight over adjacent federal agencies, and their subagencies. The ratification of a Constitutional amendment will rein in the outlandish interests of those both elected and appointed through the Executive Branch, putting policy back in the hands of the people, united.
