These are draft constitutional amendments and federal statutes, written as text a legislature could introduce tomorrow. The diagnosis is specific. American law bans foreign election spending but lets foreign money launder through domestic corporations, nonprofits, and donor-advised funds. It requires foreign-agent disclosure but not for influence that falls short of legal “agency.” It protects property rights but lets shell companies hide who owns strategic land, media, defense contractors, and data brokers. It gives presidents control over the agencies meant to police capture. It gives justices lifetime power with no outside discipline. Every reform here closes one of those routes. They harden the rules around money, ownership, lobbying, citizenship, courts, elections, alliances, platforms, and emergency power so that public institutions stay answerable to the citizens who live under them.
