The Restoration Clause

Written by citizens, not for them.

This isn't ordinary legislation, and it isn't an official Article V mechanism — CitizenAuthority has no authority over that process. It's a slower, citizen-led way of finding real consensus on the structural gaps the Constitution leaves open, grounded in what's already been credibly documented, so that consensus can eventually be carried into the actual amendment process by the people who reach it.

Sourced, not invented

Nothing here starts from one person's opinion — including ours. An issue earns a place on the docket only when it shows up independently across multiple kinds of credible sources: nonpartisan government analysis, cross-ideological scholarship, bipartisan commissions, and the historical record of constitutional amendments introduced repeatedly over decades but never ratified. The convergence itself is the filter.

Open to everyone, anchored by the Course

Anyone can take part — there's no requirement to have taken the Action Course first. But the Course exists to build the same founding-era, Tenth Amendment grounding this process assumes, so it's the natural place to start if you want the fuller context before weighing in.

Built to be slow

This is meant to happen once a generation, not once a news cycle. Whatever eventually earns enough citizen backing to be considered ready is held to the same bar the founders set for amending the Constitution itself — ratification on the order of three-fourths of the states, not a simple majority.

Citizens write it

Once a direction has real consensus behind it, the people who built that consensus author the actual language — not a tool, and not us. Assistance with clarity or precedent is fine; authorship isn't outsourced.

Where this stands: the process above is settled, but the docket itself isn't live yet — the initial set of sourced, cross-referenced issues is still being researched. Nothing is ready to act on today. Check back, or start with the Action Course in the meantime.
