Founders Limitation of power outside of Service.

HB 75

An Act to clarify the role of Founders after their term ends, protecting the White House’s democratic process while still honoring Founders for creating and funding the establishment.

[2026-03-02]

This will take effect upon a successful judicial review.

Explanatory Notes

This bill keeps Founders respected and included, but makes it clear that once a Founder’s official term ends, they don’t automatically keep governing power unless they’re currently in a legal role.

Honors Founders: They keep their Founder title, recognition for creating/funding the WH, and can still participate as normal members.
Advisory, not controlling: Founders can suggest reforms, give feedback, and provide historical context—but their opinion isn’t a command unless they hold an active office.
Stops post-term unilateral changes: If they aren’t in an official role, they can’t directly change departments/ranks/scripts/tasks, rewrite laws, override leadership, or make staffing decisions.
Big changes must use normal channels: If a Founder wants changes, they must submit proposals through the Legislature/departments or get appointed/elected into a role that legally grants that power.
Prevents "backdoor control": They can’t use proxies to push changes they aren’t allowed to make, and disputes can be reviewed by the Judiciary.
Emergency exception: They can’t use proxies to push changes they aren’t allowed to make, and disputes can be reviewed by the Judiciary.

1Definitions

“Founder” shall mean any individual officially recognized as a founder of the White House.

“Founder Privileges” shall mean ceremonial, honorary, or access-based benefits granted due to Founder status.

“Founder Authority” shall mean the ability to make, enforce, or directly change White House structure, staffing, policy, scripts, ranks, or operations without going through normal legal process.

“Term End” shall mean when a Founder’s official elected/appointed term ends by resignation, removal, expiration, or vacancy.

2Principles

1Respect + Stability

Founders shall always be recognized for establishing and financially supporting the White House.

This Act is not intended to remove Founders from the community, silence them, or disrespect their contribution.

This Act exists to prevent confusion and power overlap once a Founder is no longer in an active leadership term.

2Equal Process

Major changes to the White House should happen through the same process for everyone: legislation, proper approvals, and accountability.

3Post-Term Role of Founders

1Founders Keep Honorary Status

After Term End, Founders shall retain:

Public recognition as a Founder.

A ceremonial “Founder” title.

The right to participate as a normal member of the White House community.

Any non-governing perks explicitly allowed by law (events, tours, ceremonial seating, etc.).

2Advisory Voice

Founders may:

Offer recommendations to departments, leadership, and the Legislature.

Propose ideas for reforms.

Provide historical context for why certain systems exist.

This input is advisory only unless the Founder currently holds a legal office with decision-making authority.

4Limits on Post-Term Power

1No Automatic Governing Power After Term End

If a Founder is not currently serving in an appointed/elected role, they may not unilaterally:

Change departments, ranks, scripts, training systems, task systems, or room operations.

Promote/demote/fire members or override departmental decisions.

Edit, repeal, or rewrite legislation by direct action.

Issue binding orders to any branch or department.

2Founder Influence Must Use Legal Channels

If a Founder wants a big change, they must:

Submit it as a proposal to the Legislature and/or relevant department, or

Seek appointment to a role that legally allows that change.

3Protection from "Backdoor" Control

A Founder may not use proxies (other members) to force changes that they are not legally allowed to make.

Any attempt to bypass this Act may be reviewed by the Judiciary.

5Special Cases

1Founder Emergency Assistance

In a major crisis where leadership is unavailable, a Founder may temporarily help stabilize operations only if:

The Judiciary (or the highest available legal authority) requests it, and

The assistance is limited to restoring normal function until lawful leadership is present.

Any emergency assistance must be documented and reviewed.

6Enforcement

1Invalid Actions

Any post-term Founder action that violates Part 4 is considered unofficial and non-binding.

2Review

Disputes regarding Founder overreach may be brought to the Judiciary for review.

The Judiciary may issue orders to stop continued interference and clarify what is allowed.
