Clean Honest Government

​Constitutional Executive Orders
​

Executive Orders are as temporary as the sitting president. Constitutional Executive Orders are immediately enforceable; where ratifying amendments can take years. As amendments, they carry more authority and longer life-span.

​
To help us right our fallen nation and improve our failed governments, We, the governed people must correct the way we think about government. Governments are corporations.

​We own our governments. The people in government offices (elected, hired, appointed, delegated, contracted, volunteering, etc.) are our employees. They work for us!
​

We must act like we own our governments and that our government officers truly are our employees. The definitions shown on the Home Page CLEANHONESTGOV.COM  definitions from 1756. The President is president of "The United States of America", the name for our nation's government. CEO, if you will, over all the subsidiary levels and branches. The President's office itself, subject to The Supreme Law of the Land.

​Constitutional Executive Orders are immediately enforceable. Unfortunately, new presidents are not obligated to enforce previous Executive Orders. However, when we add Clarifying Constitutional Amendments, it becomes a crime against the people, Treason, for any president to not enforce them.​

Drain The Swamp — Getting The Vote Count Correct
​

This includes elected offices as well as the first level of appointees, be they city, county, state, or federal.

Draining the Swamp involves correcting, rather enforcing the people's correct Vote Count — removing corrupted government officials from elected office and restores the sovereignty of the governed people's votes by properly counting every registered voter's votes, ​Detailed at Reading & Math.

This Constitutional Executive Order Supports the U. S. Constitution, Article 6, which names the four elements of The Supreme Law of the Land:
  1. This Constitution; The Constitution for the United States of America
  2. and the Laws made in Pursuance thereof; Only​ the laws made in pursuance of the U.S. Constitution are enforceable. All others are void and without standing and should be amended for compliance, or repealed.
  3. and all Treaties made, or which shall be made; but only those made under our nation's authority
  4. under the Authority of the United States; Our nation's Authority is The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America. It details the sovereign authority over our governments, which is the unified vote of the governed people. The U. S. Constitution is the government's authority.
  5. shall be the Supreme Law of the Land;

— All government officials in all government levels and branches swear in under Article 6 Oath/Affirmation

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, top of Paragraph 2 states, "That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed".

With elected government officers being granted specific government powers, they also must receive the consent of the governed in order to be lawfully sworn in to exercise those powers.

"Consent of the governed" is the majority of the total number of registered voters; defined in 1756 common-use dictionary. (See Detailed at Reading & Math for 1756 dictionary snapshots and definitions.)

Any elected officer who did not receive the consenting votes from the majority of the total number of registered voters in their district must vacate that office immediately and until such time the registered voters fill that seat with a candidate who receives the consenting votes from the majority of the total number of registered voters.

Any thing up for vote, where voters have not yet filled that empty seat, all votes from that empty seat must be in the negative, opposing anything presented for vote; until such time the people fill that seat with a candidate who receives the consenting votes from a majority of the total number of registered voters.

"Build The Wall"
​

This focuses on general crime reduction, which includes illegally entering or staying in these united States of America.

Reduce Illegal Immigration & All Other Crime — by properly enforcing The U. S. Constitution's Amendment 13; laws governing illegal immigration; and if not on the books already, there should be a law that fines businesses and individuals who hire those in these united States of America illegally. Such penalty may include the loss of perhaps 5% of their business and/or personal assets for the first offense and 10% for the second and each additional offense.

The Authority: The Constitution for the United States of America, Amendment 13:
Section 1; "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

In supporting the U. S. Constitution, Amendment 13, it is the duty to make certain that all people convicted of crime (including illegal immigration, terrorism, and all other types — minor and major) are duly convicted. This relatively unused tool existed since 1865. A tool designed to nearly eliminate all types of crime — when properly applied.

This Executive Order makes government officials personally accountable as, ​after-the-fact accomplices when they violate an accused person's (and/or victim's) rights.

Violating rights by government officers must pardon many guilty people.


Amendment 13 authorizes Labor Camps and Chain Gangs that require forced labor for long hours of the day, which clarifies that it does not violate Amendment 8's cruel or unusual punishment clause — because of its later ratification date.

Amendment 13's purpose it to make the penalty for the criminal activity far worse than the crime's rewards; thus reducing crime.

We have not properly checked and stopped our government from abusing this power, thus violating Amendment 13's "Duly Convicted" clause.

When Amendment 13 gets properly applied, the entire justice system pays for itself — ​because the labor of those duly convicted cover 100% of that cost.

No border walls or fences. Fewer Border Agents. Less taxes.

An added benefit to this system is that the inmates learn many new useful skills and hard-work ethics so that when released, they have jobs already lined up as already-trained persons. It also discourages people from a life of crime, where the catch and release, with eventual amnesty, as well as plea bargains only encourages crime.

From this point on, we will enforce U. S. Constitution, Amendment 13 for punishing crime.

Any government officer who violates an accused person's or victim's rights will be tried as an accomplice. This prohibits the use of Plea Bargains, as it violates Amendment 5 and only rewards criminals on the street and criminals in government.

Legislators in all government levels are duty bound to repeal all laws that violate their respective state constitutions, but especially where the local law violates the U. S. Constitution's, Article 6, Supreme Law of the Land.

Law enforcement officers are duty bound to fight any law still on the books that unjustly violates the people's rights, retained by way of Amendment 9.

Judicial officers are required to Try the Laws first to see if they violate any part of the respective constitutions. If so, the accused person must be set free, as well as freeing all others accused and/or convicted of violating that unconstitutional law.

Actions that violate unconstitutional laws are not a crime. This does not free persons convicted of violating other laws that comply with the respective constitutions.


If the law is found to comply with the constitution, only then is the accused person tried for violating the law in question.

U. S. Constitution, Article 3, Section 2, "the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact".

All courts deal with the Law in all criminal prosecutions; therefore, all courts are the original jurisdiction as to the Laws and the Facts regarding those laws passed at their respective political jurisdictions. They are the appellate jurisdiction for each smaller political jurisdiction.


Specifically related to Illegal Immigration are penalties against people and businesses that hire illegals as well as penalties against people who enter or remain in these united States of America Illegally. For example:
  • 8 U.S. Code § 1324a. Unlawful employment of aliens — and penalties for hiring them
  • 8 U.S. Code § 1325. Improper entry by alien — penalties for improper entry into these united States

Both those laws support the U. S. Constitution's power–grant regarding uniform code for immigration and naturalization. Article 1, Section 8.

There are numerous other laws (city, county, state, and federal) that penalize all other criminal actions that violate the rights and/or property of individuals.
​

Properly enforcing the laws that punish criminal actions in accord with Amendment 13, it reduces all sort of criminal acts.

Stop Unconstitutional Wage Tax
​

Stop Unconstitutional Wage Tax — Wages are not income. We know this, because of the published, public definitions that existed a few years prior to the Amendment 16 ratification.

Picture
(1898) WAGE. n. 2. That for which one labors ; mead ; reward ; stipulated payment ; -- at present, used in the plural. See Wages.

Picture
(1898) WAGES. n. A compensation given to a hired person for services; price paid for labor; recompense; hire. See Wage, n. #2
Vertical Divider
Picture
(1898) INCOME. n. 3.The gain which proceeds from labor, business, property, or capital of any kind, as the produce of a farm, the rent of houses, the proceeds of a professional business, the profits of commerce or of occupation, or the interest of money or stocks in funds, etc.; revenue ; receipts; salary ; especially, the annual receipts of a private person or a corporation, from property; as a large income.

Picture
(1916) INCOME. n. 3. The gain which proceeds from labor, business, or property ; revenue ; receipts ; wages or salary.

(1916) INCOME TAX. A tax on a person's income, emoluments, profits, etc. or on the excess over a certain amount.

The Constitution for the United States of America, Amendment 16 grants to Congress, the power to tax Income — ​Not Wages: "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

Amendment 16 was ratified February of 1913. Therefore, the 1916definition for income, which now includes wages, is government's unethical and  unconstitutional way of adjusting/amending The Constitution, without going through the Article 5 Amendment process.

Congress possesses no authority to define​ what is income. That power has never been granted to Congress.

With respect to labor, income is "the gain which proceeds from labor" (1898 definition).

With respect to labor, wages is "the compensation for labor". (1898 definition).

Wages are not​ income. No place in the US Constitution does it grant a tax on wages. Wage tax, is therefore, unjust.

This executive order cannot force people to not donate some of their compensation to government; but can only inform people that it is not required by Amendment 16. Since the employee suffers a loss from the employment, in that they are not paid full value for their labor (proved by the fact that the employer uses the extra to pay business overhead and such); the employee should use their wages as a loss against any TRUE Income they might receive (such as: interest from investment, incoming rents, etc.) as defined under Income, in the above 1898 image.
​

This gives the wage-earner the largest income tax break since passing Amendment 16, which was unlawfully, unconstitutionally, and unethically enforced against wages. Remember, Congress has no authority to define words​ used in The Constitution, the LAW that governs their powers. Unless a specific section of The Constitution grants to Congress power to define or redefine those words in that section, doing so otherwise is ​TREASON (Article 3, Section 3 levying war against the people and our rights, which is the nation).

Equality With Income Tax
​

Equality With Income Tax — at present, the income tax is not applied equally and therefore is not equal protection under the law.
​

The Constitution for the United States of America, Amendment 16 states: The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several states, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

The Constitution does not authorize a census — only an enumeration in Article 1, Section 2 (detailed elsewhere in its own section below).

The Constitution for the United States of America, Amendment 14, Section 1, states... "nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws".

The way our government applies the Income tax — it does so based on a census with regard to how many people are in particular income-brackets. Based on amount of income, which usually redefined to unlawfully include wages. The rate of taxation is not equally applied — thus unequal protection of the  tax laws.

The income tax laws are suspended with this Constitutional Executive Order for these reasons: It unjustly includes wages, which are not income, because income is the gain which proceeds from labor; where wages is the compensation for labor. The employer almost never pays full value for employee labor — that is why they usually get hired — so the employer can profit or gain from the employee's labor.

The income tax is not evenly applied to all people based on the same type of income — ​therefore does not provide equal protection under the law.

Potential amendments to the income tax law might include: A single percentage rate that is evenly applied to the pauper and the billionaire. This would tax the same (for example 5%) of every dollar of actual income and not tax wages.

To prevent the abuse of companies overpaying certain persons as a way of hiding income: This can also dictate that wages for unskilled labor will top out at say $8/hour; skilled labor might top out at perhaps $25/hour; professional labor might top out at $125/hour; and then there is the salary of lower, middle, and upper management with annual tops at $100,000/year, $300,000/year, and $1,000,000/year respectively. After the finalized adjustments, anything over those caps would be taxable as income. The reason for these caps are to prevent businesses owners and controllers from paying to themselves as wages and benefits in the multiple-millions of dollars annually to hide otherwise taxable corporate income.

In addition, if the salary for the President of "The United States of America" is about $500,000/year plus benefits; any commercial-corporate President being paid more than $1,000,000/year becomes excessive in comparison, based on scope of duties and size of organization managed.

Proposed alternate tax is a national sales tax. The benefit here, is that it is the same rate for the beggar and the billionaire. Both, the beggar and the billionaire, spend money; both do not always generate constitutionally taxable income.

Debt Reduction
​

​The Constitution for the United States of America, Article 6 provides an excellent example on how to do this.

Reduce Nation's Debt — return all unconstitutional debt to those who violated The Constitution for the United States of America, by authorizing it and/or not repealing it.

From The Constitution for the United States of America, Article 6, Paragraph 1; it provides for us the means by which to eliminate all of the unjust debt our government officials passed on to us. We can effectively pass all that unjust debt back onto those who signed, authorizing it, and/or did not repeal it when they had the opportunity while in office.

Article 6, Paragraph 1: "All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation."

All that means is that the governed people are not obligated to pay any debts that the present Constitution does NOT specifically authorize our government officers to engage.

This Executive Order refuses to spend public money for any thing The Constitution for the United States of America does not authorize. By replacing people in elected offices with those who attain the majority of the total number of registered voter's consent — ​much of this debt can be repealed along with many other unjust government officers and agencies and such not authorized by The Constitution for the United States of America.

All that unconstitutional debt becomes the personal liability of every living member of government who authorized it and/or when in office did not work to repeal it; including those who enforced it and punished people for violating it. Thus removing it from The Governed People's​ account-ledger.

Enforce Contractual Vote Counting
​

The Constitution for the United States of America, Article 6 details The Supreme Law of the Land. Within it, it includes The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, by reference. The reference it uses; "[The] Authority of the United States".

The Constitution is the government's authority for passing and enforcing certain limited types of law. Treaties, on the other hand, deal with a nation's authority.

Our nation's authority, since the people are the nation, proof of our political authority is The Declaration.


The vote-count tally must account for every registered voter's vote as either consent or not-consenting. Any registered voter who does not submit a ballot must be counted as having not consented — simply because they did not consent.

Abolish Unconstitutional Census
​

Most people are so accustomed to doing a census, they never question its constitutional validity. After all, the word census does appear in The Constitution​.

Their reasoning?

Get this. It must be authorized because they've been doing it so long.

Stop The Census — The Constitution for the United States of America authorizes an Enumeration — not a census.​

Yes; the US Constitution uses both words, census and enumeration.

We do two things here: One, define each term (census and enumeration) as to what they meant in 1785. Then: Determine which one, if not both, that the Constitution actually grants to Congress to use.
​
​Census, does not appear in the 1785 or the 1756 dictionaries. Still looking for older definition. But, since it did not appear in either the 1756 or the 1785, here it is from 1898: 1. (Rom. Antiq.) A numbering of the people, and valuation of their estates, for the purpose of imposing taxes, etc.; — usually made once in five years. 2. An official registration of the number of the people, the value of their estates, and other general statistics of a country.

Picture
(1710) Censor. a Magistrate, whose Office it was to take an exact view of the People of Rome, to value the Estate of every Citizen, and to reform manners.

Picture
(1768) CENSOR. s. 1. An officer of Rome, who had the power of correcting manners. 2. One who is given to censure.

Picture
(1818) CRENSUS. n.s. A declaration, among the Romans, made by th4e several subjects of the empire, of their names and -places of abode, before the sensors​ ; by whom the declarations were recorded.

2. An official registration of the number of the people, the value of their estates, and other general statistics of a country.

 ---> A general census of the United States was first taken in 1790, and one has been taken at the end of every ten years since.

NOTE: Regarding the Wage-Tax and the Income-Tax; both require using the census or the enumeration to determine how much to tax each class of financial-citizen based on how many are low-, middle-, and high-incomes, which presently and unconstitutionally includes wages. Thus the single flat percentage-rate income-tax on true income is the only way government can tax incomes. 

Now. When it come4s to different types of income (business profits, rentals from real estate, or produce from a farm, etc.) Congress can tax one type of income at a different rate than other types of income. But cannot tax the people within the same type income different percentages based on volume/dollar amount.

The word census appears in The Constitution for the United States of America in the following location: Article 1, Section 9, Clause 4: "No Capitation, or other direct, Tax shall be laid, unless in Proportion to the Census or enumeration herein before directed to be taken."

The word census does not appear in The Bill of Rights. The word census appears in Amendment 16: "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

The word enumeration, in addition to appearing in the above locations with the word census, also appears in the following location: Twice in Article 1, Section 2, Paragraph 3..: "[Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.] The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years. . . and until such enumeration shall be made. . ."

No place in the US Constitution does it grant to Congress the power to conduct a census — only an enumeration. It also expressly defines the scope and purpose for that enumeration. The power to count the numbers of the people. Not the power to invade their private lives with a general census as the after-the-fact definitions appear to authorize and support..

Based on the evidence, no more census will be taken. Only an enumeration of the people for the purposes of determining the number of representatives in the House of Representatives of Congress. This will simply amount to collecting the number of the total body of registered voters in each state; because it is the registered voters who select the representative as detailed elsewhere.

This goes to show that we must also be cautious about how our new after-the-fact dictionaries alter the way we look at our world and government powers. Dictionaries are not supposed to change the meaning of  The Declaration, The Constitution, laws or contracts. 

Constitutional Convention
​

​Constitutional Executive Orders are temporary. Clarifying Constitutional Amendments carry more enforcement weight and last longer.

In considering constitutional conventions, we might entertain the idea of an entire constitution rewrite. This suggestion comes because much of these proposed Constitutional Executive Orders, Programs and Projects.

The 20/20 Constitution is the complete draft of an entire constitution to replace our present, correcting most political ills and clarifying many other mishaps of government.
