B.2. Challenged Review

Any government statute, executive order, agency rule, or court ruling—by Congress, the Executive, the Judiciary, or a federal agency—that directly affects the Rights of Persons or the Powers of the States may be challenged by a Citizen Review Petition.

If at least one percent (1%) of eligbile voters sign the petition within one hundred eighty (180) days of the action taking effect, and the petition is submitted to the Speaker of the House, the action shall be suspended if injunctive relief is requested and necessary to prevent immediate or irreversible harm. Otherwise, the action may proceed but must be reversed if rejected by the People in the ensuing referendum.

The challenged action must be publicly defended by the originating authority, which must provide a formal written justification in clear and accessible language explaining the measure and its effects. The written justification must be easily accessed by all Citizens and must be made available at least ninety (90) days before the next national election, failing which, the referendum shall be deferred to the next scheduled national election.

The referendum shall be binding. If three-fifths (⅗) of Citizens voting reject the action, it must be reversed in full within ninety (90) days unless reversal is impossible, in which case a public remedy must be enacted by law.
