Day one Executive Orders to make Trump transformational

And restore liberty to the country.

Day one items Trump could enact that would be transformative and ensure his legacy as a President who saved Constitutional liberty in the United States:

Day One Items Trump Could Enact via Executive Order:

• Pardon Snowden:
  Granting Edward Snowden a pardon would be a significant statement on the importance of transparency and the protection of whistleblowers. It would also signal a commitment to reevaluating excessive government surveillance programs. Congress should then bring Brennan and Clapper back and require testimony about the events which Snowden exposed.

• Take action to secure the border and deport illegal immigrants:
  Enforcing existing immigration laws and securing the border would reaffirm the federal government’s role in protecting national sovereignty. This would include prioritizing deportation of those who pose security risks and bolstering physical and technological border measures.

• Refinance Federal debt at lower rates:
  Issue long-term debt at historically low rates would reduce future fiscal burdens and stabilize federal finances. While this opportunity was missed in recent years, a push toward refinancing remains critical to controlling the national debt, particularly 30 and 100 year terms.

• Roll back excessive EPA rules:
  Scaling back overly burdensome environmental regulations would unleash economic growth while maintaining reasonable protections for air, water, and land. This would particularly benefit industries like energy, agriculture, and manufacturing.

• Challenge the constitutional overreach of Wickard v. Filburn:
  Direct the attorney general to find cases to immediately challenge Wickard v. Filburn, one of the most expansive interpretations of federal power. This action could realign federal authority with the original intent of the Constitution.

• End withholding via executive order:
  Eliminating income tax withholding would let Americans see the true size of their federal tax burden, fostering greater accountability in government spending. It is the only easily implemented policy that would expose the true size of the Federal government and that would ensure the ability to implement the rest of pro-freedom policies. This move is revenue-neutral and only opposed by authoritarians, entrenched bureaucracies and special interests. See https://itstrue.substack.com/p/doge-its-time-to-end-income-tax-withholding

• Order investigations into politicized federal agencies:
  Investigating bias and misconduct within agencies like the FBI, IRS, and DOJ would restore public trust in federal institutions. These inquiries would aim to depoliticize their operations and hold bad actors accountable.

• Modify federal workforce reforms:
  Reinstating and expanding Schedule F would enable the administration to remove bureaucrats resistant to the President's agenda. This reform would streamline governance and ensure accountability within the federal workforce.

• Declassify everything related to RFK.

• Release all records from the COVID meetings from 2020-2024.

• As long as these are easy EOs: release records for Area 51.

Items Likely Requiring Congressional Action:

• Election integrity:
  Federal voter ID requirements would bolster confidence in election outcomes and ensure every vote cast is legitimate. Congress must act to establish uniform standards for federal elections while respecting states’ rights.

• School choice and local control of education:
  Giving parents the freedom to choose schools and direct education dollars would revolutionize education quality and access. Empowering local governments would reduce federal overreach and better meet community needs.

• Freeze spending:
  Imposing a federal spending freeze would be a crucial first step toward reducing the deficit and stabilizing the economy. This measure would force Congress to prioritize essential expenditures and cut unnecessary programs.

• Pro-growth policies:
  Policies promoting deregulation, tax cuts, and energy independence would unleash economic growth and create millions of jobs. A clear focus on entrepreneurship and innovation would position the U.S. for long-term prosperity.

• Allow half of Social Security taxes to go to a private Roth IRA:
  Providing Americans with the option to invest a portion of their Social Security taxes in private Roth IRAs would empower individuals to build personal wealth. This reform would modernize retirement planning while maintaining a safety net for those who need it.

The first group of items, done by executive order, would enshrine Trump as a staunch defender of liberty and the Constitution.
