From healthcare reform to economic revitalization, the Independent Institute has been at the forefront of independent research and analysis. Their unconventional approach challenges traditional ideologies and offers fresh perspectives to tackle the deeply rooted problems our nation faces.

Breaking Free from Partisan Politics

The Independent Institute firmly believes that lasting change can only come from breaking free from partisan politics. Instead of relying on Congress to act, their experts advocate for empowering local communities, fostering individual liberty, and promoting free-market solutions.

One of their most successful initiatives is the establishment of community-based think tanks. By creating local centers of research and problem-solving, the Independent Institute aims to encourage citizens' active participation in shaping the policies that affect their lives. These think tanks act as incubators of ideas, facilitating dialogue among different stakeholders and connecting policymakers with grassroots movements.

Through these efforts, the Independent Institute seeks to foster an environment where compromise and collaboration can thrive. Their long-term vision is to create a network of independent voices that can effectively challenge the status quo and drive positive change.

Addressing Congressional Failure Head-On

The Independent Institute acknowledges that congressional failure is a systemic issue that requires comprehensive solutions. In addition to their community-based approach, they engage in rigorous research to identify the underlying causes of dysfunction and propose practical remedies.

One critical avenue of their research is focused on campaign finance reform. By exposing the influence of money in politics, the Independent Institute aims to reduce the undue influence of special interest groups and enhance the voice of ordinary citizens.

Moreover, they advocate for electoral reform to ensure fair representation and diminish the impact of gerrymandering. By supporting initiatives that promote transparency and accountability, the Independent Institute strives to restore public trust in the electoral process.

The Way Forward

Restoring the republic after congressional failure is a daunting task, but the Independent Institute remains committed to driving change. By offering innovative solutions, breaking free from partisan politics, and addressing the root causes of dysfunction, they provide a roadmap for building a brighter future for our democracy.

It is time to move beyond the limitations of Congress and embrace new approaches that can bring about lasting and meaningful reform. With the Independent Institute leading the way, there is hope for restoring the republic and ensuring a government that truly represents the people.

In War and the Rogue Presidency, Ivan Eland shows that almost immediately after the nation's founding, starting with the first presidency of George Washington, the executive's role in defense and foreign policy began expanding past what the framers of the Constitution had envisioned. The Constitution enshrined Congress as the dominant branch of government, giving Congress, not the President, most of the powers in defense and foreign policy. This comprehensive book shows how the presidential aggrandizement of greater powers has only been possible because of congressional abdication. However, this expansion of the executive's role was still relatively contained until the Cold War when undeclared, permanent war became ongoing policy, and then the post-9/11 war on terror dramatically expanded the President's role. Such expansion has had deleterious effects on U.S. foreign policy abroad, as well as a major erosion of the republic, its security at home, and the liberties of American citizens.

War and the Rogue Presidency is an in-depth examination of the history of the congressional-executive tug-of-war over U.S. security policy and why reclaiming constitutional standards is essential to restore both an effective national defense and civil and economic liberties. To get Congress to do that, Dr. Eland presents ways in which internal congressional incentives could be changed to provide motivation for legislative push-back. As a result, the book suggests important actions Congress could take for such a push-back along with other reforms that would effectively rein in the rogue presidency.
