Structural insulation from executive-branch interference.

- 5
Levy a 50% excise tax on 501(c)(4) entities that fail to disclose donors over $10,000 or coordinate with Super PACs; direct revenue into the Public Integrity Enforcement Trust Fund.
- 6
Grant the independent Office of Congressional Conduct (OCC) binding subpoena authority over House members and third-party donors through the proposed House Rules Package, alongside a bipartisan Oversight subpoena trigger.
Why it matters
After the railway station canopy collapsed in Novi Sad, Serbia's student plenums demanded a Special Prosecutorial Police: anti-corruption laws cannot work when prosecutors answer to the politicians they must investigate. The U.S. blueprint applies that lesson to congressional self-policing, undisclosed judicial gifts, and the vulnerability of the Justice Department's Public Integrity Section to executive interference. Independent enforcement across all three branches targets institutional capture rather than one party, connecting progressive demands for judicial accountability with populist demands for executive and congressional bribery enforcement.
The legislative blueprint
Phase 1 — Day-One House Rules Execution & Floor Forcing Function (January–Spring 2029)
Instant House Enforcement via H.Res. 5 (No Senate Needed)
On January 3, 2029, the proposed 25-member Accountability Caucus uses Speaker-election leverage to seek binding OCC subpoena power over House members and third-party donors through the 121st House Rules Package. It also seeks a 5-majority + 5-minority bipartisan subpoena trigger on the House Oversight Committee. These House rules would not by themselves establish government-wide enforcement.
Rules Package Floor Lock
Reserve proposed H.R. 1 as the flagship bill under Section 5 ("Orders of Business") of H.Res. 5, seeking a standalone, unamendable roll-call vote before April 15, 2029.
The 380-Vote Anti-Corruption Coalition Target
Pair judicial gift enforcement with executive and congressional bribery enforcement to build a cross-partisan coalition. The upload describes a 380-vote aspiration and a 350+ House margin, followed by Senate Rule XIV calendar placement. These are political targets, not recorded votes; calendar placement would not itself bypass a Senate filibuster or guarantee enactment.
Phase 2 — Bypassing the 60-Vote Senate Filibuster (Two-Track Pincer)
Track A — 51-Vote Budget Reconciliation (The Tax Clawback)
Use the proposed 25-vote House pivot to seek the 100% Undisclosed Official Gift Excise Tax and 50% Dark-Money Coordination Tax Penalty in annual reconciliation legislation. The blueprint envisions IRS and Treasury Inspector General financial auditing of undisclosed luxury travel, real-estate deals, and dark-money flows across all three branches. Reconciliation eligibility and any new enforcement authority remain subject to legislative and Byrd Rule review.
Track B — Must-Pass Appropriations & Holman Rule Leverage
The Caucus proposes withholding the votes needed for a 218-vote House majority on Commerce, Justice, Science (CJS) and Financial Services and General Government (FSGG) appropriations unless they include the Independent Federal Public Integrity Office's statutory charter and multi-year mandatory funding. The proposed bipartisan inspector-general board is intended to insulate the office from White House firing; these safeguards would still need to survive passage and legal review.
Phase 3 — Limitation Riders & Trans-Cameral Field Pressure
Holman Rule & Salary Riders
Using its proposed 3 blocking seats on the House Rules Committee and Holman Rule leverage, the Caucus seeks limitation riders in FSGG and Legislative Branch funding bills: "None of the funds made available by this Act may be used to pay the official office, travel, or security expenses of any federal judicial, legislative, or executive officer who refuses to comply with an audit or subpoena issued by the Independent Public Integrity Office."
Bipartisan Subpoena Counter-Strike
If White House or Senate leadership threatens to remove the office from the final omnibus funding package, the blueprint calls for the 5-majority + 5-minority Oversight subpoena trigger to initiate public forensic hearings into executive-branch and Senate-leadership corporate donors. This is a proposed pressure strategy, not an existing subpoena power or reported investigation.
