Restoration plan

Execute in order. Early phases unlock later ones — personnel, Counsel, and OMB before agency-by-agency undos. Open a chapter for the numbered Mandate → Undo checklist.

  1. Phase 0 · Day 0–7

    0% restored · 60 points

    Stabilize

    Freeze further damage while the restoration map is locked in. Protect records, IGs, and ongoing legal obligations.

    1. 1. Inventory live EOs, Schedule F / Schedule Policy-Career conversions, and acting officials past FVRA windows.
    2. 2. Direct agencies to pause new Mandate-aligned reorganizations and RIFs pending review.
    3. 3. Protect Inspectors General, ethics offices, and records from destruction or politicized removal.
    4. 4. Stand up a Restoration Task Force (White House Counsel + OMB + OPM + DOJ) with a public tracker.
  2. Phase 1 · Week 1–4

    0% restored · 44 points

    Retake the machinery

    Without personnel, Counsel, and OMB norms restored, agency undos will not stick.

    1. 1. Personnel — Rescind Schedule F / successors; restore MSPB and OPM processes; end PPO-as-purge.
    2. 2. White House Counsel — Restore the Counsel–DOJ contacts firewall; end activist-Counsel and day-one litigation weaponization norms.
    3. 3. EOP / OMB — Return apportionment and regulatory clearance to lawful process; reverse politicized contracting litmus tests.
    4. 4. Succession — Restore career FVRA pipelines; end exclusive partisan staffing pipelines.
  3. Phase 2 · Month 1–2

    0% restored · 73 points

    Rights and enforcement core

    Highest human-impact domains. Delay here compounds irreversible harm.

    1. 1. Justice — Restore Civil Rights and Voting independence; reverse FBI subordination and politicized charging directives.
    2. 2. Homeland Security — Halt dismantle/scatter plans; restore asylum processing capacity; return CISA to its statutory cyber mission.
    3. 3. Education — Stop agency wind-down; restore OCR; protect FSA and student-aid operations.
    4. 4. HHS — Restore CDC/FDA scientific integrity, reproductive-health frameworks, and core program offices.
  4. Phase 3 · Month 2–4

    0% restored · 60 points

    Climate, land, and energy

    Rebuild science capacity and statutory environmental authorities.

    1. 1. EPA — Restore Clean Air Act tools, enforcement capacity, and science-based water rules consistent with law.
    2. 2. Interior — Reverse leasing giveaways and park/tribal rollbacks; restore science offices.
    3. 3. Energy — Reconstitute clean-energy and grid offices and IIJA–IRA implementation capacity.
    4. 4. Agriculture — Restore conservation, nutrition, and climate-aligned farm programs.
  5. Phase 4 · Month 3–5

    0% restored · 74 points

    Economy and watchdogs

    Worker, consumer, and market protections that Mandate sought to starve or abolish.

    1. 1. Labor — Restore wage/hour, organizing, and safety enforcement posture.
    2. 2. Treasury / IRS — Rebuild enforcement and taxpayer-service capacity stripped for ideology.
    3. 3. Financial regulators — Undo CFPB abolish/starve paths; restore SEC investor-protection rules.
    4. 4. FCC, FTC, FEC — Reverse speech, competition, and election-administration rollbacks.
  6. Phase 5 · Month 4–6

    0% restored · 108 points

    Foreign, defense, and media

    Run in parallel once domestic machinery holds — diplomacy, intel integrity, and public media.

    1. 1. State, USAID, Media — Restore development capacity, broadcasting independence, and career diplomacy.
    2. 2. Intelligence and Defense — Reverse politicization of intel and force-design extremes that cut readiness.
    3. 3. Trade, Commerce, Veterans — Case-by-case undos for tariffs, science agencies, and veterans services.
  7. Phase 6 · Month 6–18

    0% restored · 105 points

    Codify so it does not rebound

    EO-only fixes are temporary. Lock the restorations in statute and appropriations.

    1. 1. Civil-service statute locks — no Schedule F 2.0.
    2. 2. DOJ independence and White House–DOJ contacts statute.
    3. 3. Agency organic statutes where Mandate sought abolition (Education, CFPB, USAID pieces).
    4. 4. Appropriations floors for OCR, EPA enforcement, IRS service, and Inspectors General.
    5. 5. Public restoration dashboard with verify metrics from each item’s undo plan.
