The Numa is to have the power to enforce all laws on
members of the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of
government. All laws that the Legislative branch pass will be
enforced on the entire government by the Numa. The Numa would be the
police and the prosecutor of government officials. The normal
established method of making law will be the same.
The Executive will still have the civilian police, FBI, Military,
etc… The FBI will have police powers over the Numa. All laws that
are forced on the citizens of a country must be enforced on all
members of government… Including the Numa. Legislation that renders
the Numa powerless however would be unconstitutional, as would
legislation pertaining only to the Numa. Any and all legislation
that applies to any citizen must be applied to all elected and
appointed members of government.
The Numa’s funding will be passed by the Legislature and signed
by the Executive.
The Numa will be headed up by the “Phocon”. He or She will have
three officers reporting to him or her, one for each of the three
other branches. These top members would be elected for four (4) year
terms. With no more than two consecutive terms.
The Numa will have the power to wire tap any official phone line,
e mail, or any other means of communication. Video surveillance of
all offices, halls, meeting rooms etc… will be constant and the
actions in them are to be taped and released to the public via the
internet. If deemed to be detrimental to the national security they
will be held until they are no longer pertinent to national security
or twenty (20) years whichever comes first.
The Numa will have the power to drug test or otherwise compel a
member of the government to the extent that any citizen could
possibly be compelled to do by law. Random drug testing for CDL
truck drivers for example, forces random drug testing on all elected
and appointed officials.
When a citizen has reason to think that he or she has been
treated unfairly by the government he or she can resort to the Numa.
There will be a department within the Numa to deal with government
“consumer” complaints.
The impeachment process will be abolished and replaced by the
Numa. If the Executive is found to be in conflict with the law the
Numa will investigate, and prosecute if necessary. The Judicial will
provide a court of law and the Supreme Court will be the deciders in
the matter.
The powers defined herein are the only ones granted to the Numa.
