Abstract: Whatever the party of the new president, elected in 2028, it would be worthwhile for the incoming administration to consider eight ideas, to be explicitly embodied in executive orders or presidential memoranda: (1) a clear commitment to the independence of the Federal Reserve Board, certainly with respect to monetary policy; (2) a broad commitment to freedom of speech and the press, building on constitutional requirements; (3) a firm commitment not to interfere with the prosecutorial decisions of the Department of Justice; (4) an insistence on the centrality of cost-benefit analysis, designed to work against both overregulation and underregulation; (5) new restrictions on the pardon power, designed to regularize relevant processes; (6) reasonable (not excessive or expressive) restrictions on conflicts of interest and self-dealing, applicable to executive branch officials and the president personally; (7) a presumption against suits brought by the president in his personal capacity (a voluntary presidential disability, meant to parallel and accompany presidential immunity); (8) perhaps most controversially, a presumption (not a rule) against prosecution, by the current administration, of members of the previous administration. All of these ideas would have to be specified, but they are worthy of serious consideration, no matter the political party of the new administration.
