The PledgeEvery candidate, every verdict.
No Planks exist yet. The first ratification happens in the 90 days after the November 2026 election. Until then, here's every issue we've tested against the , including the ones that failed. A rejection is shown with the same prominence as a qualification. That's not a courtesy. It's the proof this list isn't rigged.
Ban Congressional Stock Trading
Members of Congress would be barred from trading individual stocks while in office, along with spouses and dependent children.
86% national support · 87% Republican · 88% Democrat (Program for Public Consultation) · real bills past committee in both chambers
Congressional Term Limits
A constitutional amendment limiting how many terms a member of the House and Senate may serve.
87% national · 90% Republican · 86% Democrat (Pew Research) · three independent pollsters, 38-month span · requires a two-thirds supermajority to pass, the hardest bar in the slate
Universal Background Checks
Closing the private-sale and gun-show background-check exemption.
The strongest evidentiary record of any candidate. 13 years, 4+ independent pollsters, 77–97% Republican support in every wave. One confirming poll from the trailing 12 months away from full certification.
Enforce the Epstein Files Transparency Act
A confirmation standard for the Attorney General, plus an enforcement amendment adding a private cause of action.
Support is strong (75–82% national) but the issue is too new to clear our 18-month sustained-support requirement. This isn't a rejection. It's the rule working as written. Automatic re-review lands inside the first Review Window.
Binding Supreme Court Ethics Code
An enforceable code of ethics for U.S. Supreme Court justices, including mandatory gift and travel disclosure.
Only one poll survives our neutral-wording standard so far. Real, documented opposition exists in the Senate. This one has a harder political road than most.
Lobbying Cooling-Off Extension
Extending the post-service lobbying wait period for former members of Congress from 1–2 years to five years.
We caught our own mistake here: the bill making headlines (a lifetime ban) is not the policy the public supports. We re-scoped to the version people actually agree with, and are honest that it still needs new polling before it can qualify.
End Presidential Immunity
A constitutional amendment to overturn or narrow Trump v. United States (2024).
61% national support looks like consensus. Check the party floor and only 32% of Republicans agree. This is a wedge issue wearing a consensus costume, and our own test caught it. We're publishing the failure as proudly as any qualification.
