THE PRESENT DYSFUNCTION

Authority Without Verification

Presumed, not maintained

Notice Without Consequence

Ignored without cure

Action Without Custody

Orders without warrant

Branch Isolation

Silos, not checks

Citizen Disempowerment

No tools to test

Transparency Asymmetry

One-way surveillance

FIVE STRUCTURAL FIXES

01 Quo Warranto
Problem Offices operate on presumed authority
Solution Normalized legitimacy audit; public challenge without gatekeeping
02 Impeachment Failsafe
Problem Misapplication accumulates uncorrected
Solution Functional failsafe; evidentiary exhaustion precedes action
03 Cure-or-Refer
Problem Notice without accountability
Solution Confirm → Cure → Refer. Silence = nonfeasance.
04 Branch Synchronization
Problem Branches disclaim by passing blame
Solution Cross-branch notification; no ignorance once documented
05 Marshal Restoration
Problem Role = comfort, not duty
Solution Guardian of boundary, custodian of process

INTEGRATION LAYERS

PROCEDURAL GEOMETRY

Access → Custody → Warrant

EPISTEMIC INTEGRITY

Trust → Confidence → Certainty

JURISDICTIONAL BOUNDS

Authority inside its lane

CIVIC RECIPROCITY

Notice ↔ Accountability

THE POLITICAL FILTER

Separation of Powers

No self-exoneration

Sovereign Allegiance

Singular allegiance required

AG Duty

Affirmative quo warranto

Article III Limits

Ultra vires unprotected

Judicial Accountability

Independence in constraint

Government is not sovereign—Law is. Authority is not presumed—it is tested. Citizens are structural participants.
