The PledgeEvery candidate, every verdict.
No Planks exist yet. Until the first Review Window, here's every issue we've tested against the , including the ones that failed. A rejection is shown with the same prominence as a qualification. That's not a courtesy. It's the proof this list isn't rigged.
Statuses on this page follow the Plank Selection Criteria, Draft 3, ratified October 16, 2026. No plank is adopted before the first Review Window, which opens the day after the November 3, 2026 election and runs 90 days. A plank ratified in the Window takes effect at ratification or at the seating of the 120th Congress, whichever is later.
The full criteria are on the Rules page. To nominate an issue, use the Submit a Plank form.
Congressional Term Limits
A constitutional amendment limiting how many terms a member of the House and Senate may serve.
Four admitted pollsters: Pew Research (87% national), Grinnell College (86%), Reuters/Ipsos (89%) and Marist (83%). Medians: 86.5% national, 89.5% Republican, 85.5% Democrat. The polls span 33 months. Passage takes two thirds of each chamber. Four listed pollsters count, and the basis changed on October 16, 2026. The founder accepted the status on October 19, 2026 and ruled the Grinnell College National Poll admitted, with Selzer & Co. as pollster of record and field house.
Binding Supreme Court Ethics Code
An enforceable code of ethics for U.S. Supreme Court justices, including mandatory gift and travel disclosure.
Three admitted pollsters: YouGov, Marquette Law School Poll and Annenberg Public Policy Center. Medians: 79% national, 77% Republican, 86% Democrat. The polls span 25 months. The founder accepted the change from Pending on October 19, 2026.
Background Checks on All Gun Sales
Closing the private-sale and gun-show background-check exemption.
Three admitted pollsters: YouGov, Quinnipiac and Fox News. Medians: 88% national, 86% Republican, 92% Democrat. The newest result is from August 2025 and the recency rule lapsed on August 4, 2026. One new poll from an admitted pollster on the all-sales question moves it.
Enforce the Epstein Files Release Law
The right for victims and state officials to sue to make the Justice Department release the Epstein investigation records, plus a confirmation standard for the Attorney General.
Two admitted pollsters of the three needed. The counted polls run from July to December 2025 and show 81% national, 73% Republican, 91% Democrat at the median. The span is about 5 months against the 18 needed. A poll fielded on or after January 14, 2027 reaches 18 months.
Ban Congressional Stock Trading
Members of Congress would be barred from trading individual stocks while in office, along with spouses and dependent children.
Two admitted pollsters of the three needed: YouGov and Fox News. Medians of the four counted polls: 74% national, 78% Republican, 71.5% Democrat. Every counted poll clears the 70% and 60% lines. One more admitted pollster moves it.
Five-Year Lobbying Cooling-Off for Former Members
Extending the post-service lobbying wait period for former members of Congress from 1–2 years to five years.
Zero of the 3 needed pollsters on the Qualifying Pollster List have a counting poll on a five-year wait. The newest poll, from Change Research in August 2026, found 88% nationally. Its pollster is not admitted. A lifetime ban is a different policy and is not in this plank.
End Presidential Immunity
A constitutional amendment to overturn or narrow Trump v. United States (2024).
The Marquette Law School Poll (January 27 to February 5, 2025) found 61% nationally opposed the ruling. Among Republicans it was 32%, which is 28 points under the 60% floor. The test stopped there. The rejection is published with the same weight as a qualification.
