A Blueprint for Overhauling America's Federal Government Structure

In a multi-day Solutions Week event, the columnist first announced a Transparency Requirements Under Modern Presidents Act and a strategy to separate “Social Democrats” from the Democratic Party. The current article expands the discussion to a comprehensive redesign of the federal government’s architecture. It argues that the core issue is a minority-rule dynamic that enables a post-liberal minority to dominate politics.

The author emphasizes that the plan is meant to be actionable and grounded in real-world politics, inviting readers to engage with the ideas. Subscription prompts for The Bulwark are included but do not affect the substance of the reform outline.
