The NPVIC would be the type of interstate compact requiring congressional consent, and Congress can act now by expressly denying consent to the compact through ordinary legislation. The post The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact: A Backdoor Attempt to Rewrite the Constitution Without Amending It appeared first on The Center for Renewing America .
Why Congress Should Act Before It Is Too Late For decades, efforts to abolish the Electoral College have failed because the Constitution requires a constitutional amendment to fundamentally change the method of electing the president. Rather than pursue Article V, supporters have adopted a different strategy: the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC). The compact requires participating states to award all of their electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote, regardless of how their own citizens voted. Once states totaling 270 electoral votes join, the compact takes effect automatically, effectively replacing the Electoral College with a national popular vote without changing a single word of the Constitution.…Open
The left has normalized large-scale unlawful migration; now the Court has detached citizenship from the concept of political allegiance. Without the Citizenship Act of 2026, membership in our constitutional community may remain a function of geography rather than law, consent, and reciprocal obligation. The post Primer: The Citizenship Act of 2026 and Ending Birthright Citizenship appeared first on The Center for Renewing America .
Background The Supreme Court had an opportunity to restore the Constitution’s original meaning on birthright citizenship and chose not to. The Constitution does not confer citizenship by birth on U.S. soil alone.1 The Center for Renewing America (CRA)’s core position on citizenship is correct: It requires lawful allegiance and membership in the national political community, not mere physical presence inside American territory.2 The court’s decision in Trump v. Barbara will go down as one of the most historically harmful decisions made by the Supreme Court of the United States. However, as CRA has articulated, the ruling has not exhausted the Constitution’s remedies.3 It merely shifts the fight to the branch that wrote the…Open
America is bigger than a single unelected staffer. It’s time for the Senate majority to recognize that truth, stop putting itself first, and finally prioritize the people from whom it derives its own legitimacy. The post Primer: How the Senate Can Secure a SAVE Act Win appeared first on The Center for Renewing America .
Synopsis On July 20, 2026, the House of Representatives passed a clean continuing resolution (CR) extending government funding through December 4, 2026.1 Notably, House leadership did not include the SAVE America Act in that measure. As a result, that CR is not currently an option for a House-originated vehicle for attaching SAVE America legislation. That opportunity would arise again only if the Senate amended the CR and returned it to the House, absent any other measures. Accordingly, the principal legislative pathway examined in this primer is the separate reconciliation process, while the CR remains a potential secondary vehicle only if it returns from the Senate. Separately, the House has advanced its latest budget framework,…Open
The accelerating fusion of neo-Marxist progressives and radical Islamists within American politics poses an existential threat to the republic. The post Policy Brief: Assessing the Marxist-Islamist Alliance Aimed at America’s Heart appeared first on The Center for Renewing America .
Synopsis The accelerating fusion of neo-Marxist progressives and radical Islamists within American politics poses an existential threat to the republic. This fusion, colloquially referred to as the Red-Green Alliance, draws on two seemingly conflicting ideologies—Marxism and Islamism—bound together by a common mission to destroy the American constitutional system, capitalism, and the Western Christian tradition. A closer evaluation of the Red-Green Alliance reveals that while it remains one of political convenience, the ideological foundations draw on overlapping master frames that tie shared Marxist and Islamist conceptions of anti-imperialism, anti-Zionism, resistance, and Islamophobia together into a single shared narrative.1 As…Open
To protect American children, the federal government should adopt an age-verification scheme for adult websites, and states should enact age-verification requirements for social media. The post Primer: Age-Verification for Children’s Online Safety appeared first on The Center for Renewing America .
Introduction In the digital age, vice is more accessible than ever. Smartphones have made pornography free, portable, and instantly available. Unsupervised internet use is widespread, and this development is particularly dangerous for America’s youth. The failure to restrict access to obscene adult content has left minors unprotected, opening the door to addiction and sexual depravity. Recognizing this crisis, many states have instituted age-verification requirements for adult websites and social media platforms. Although the Supreme Court upheld Texas’s age-verification system in Free Speech Coalition, Inc. v. Paxton, state legislation continues to face legal challenges. Even so, the long-term effects of these measures are promising.…Open
The Chagos deal between the United Kingdom and Mauritius raises wider questions about sovereignty, international law, great-power competition, and the ability of democratic states to maintain strategic assets in an increasingly contested world. The post Primer: The Chagos Archipelago Is Key to Resisting China’s Encroachments in the Indian Ocean appeared first on The Center for Renewing America .
The status of the Chagos Archipelago, a small group of islands in the Indian Ocean, has recently become a newly relevant question of national security and defense strategy for both the United States and the United Kingdom. After Keir Starmer’s resignation as prime minister,1 his successor Andy Burnham has signaled a willingness to proceed with the plan of ceding the Chagos Archipelago in the British Indian Ocean Territory to the Republic of Mauritius.2 This would severely damage American power and influence in the Indian Ocean. The Chagos Islands were a part of the British Mauritius Crown Colony until a few years before Mauritius gained independence in 1968. Britain separated Chagos from Mauritius to maintain a strategically…Open
The two sides do not share a positive vision of ordered liberty, constitutional government, religious freedom, or human flourishing. They cooperate because they share enemies: specifically, Christians, Western political systems, capitalism, and the entire notion of God-given rights. The post Policy Brief: How Anti-American Radicalism, Political Islam, and the Ruling-Class Academy Converged Against Western Order appeared first on The Center for Renewing America .
Summary A dangerous political pattern continues to emerge, often described as the Red-Green Alliance. This alliance brings together segments of the radical left and organized political Islam wherever their agendas intersect, above all in hostility toward the United States, Israel, national sovereignty, and the moral foundations of Western civilization.1 It is “red” because it draws on Marxist, socialist, anti‑capitalist, and postcolonial revolutionary currents and “green” because it draws on Islamist religious tradition and imagery, including the Quranic picture of believers in paradise clothed in green. 2 On the green side, Islam is treated not as a private creed but as a comprehensive political, legal, and civilizational order…Open
The Obama and Biden administrations’ anti–human trafficking framework treated trafficking not as a criminal enterprise to be destroyed but as a social equity problem to be managed through expensive victim services, non-government organization (NGO) partnerships, and “undeserved community” messaging. The post Primer: The Obama and Biden Administrations’ Hijacking of Human Trafficking Directives with DEI Ideology appeared first on The Center for Renewing America .
Synopsis The Obama and Biden administrations’ anti–human trafficking framework treated trafficking not as a criminal enterprise to be destroyed but as a social equity problem to be managed through expensive victim services, non-government organization (NGO) partnerships, and “undeserved community” messaging. President Joe Biden made the implicit Obama-era trajectory more explicit: His White House described trafficking as disproportionately affecting “vulnerable and underserved” populations, tied the plan to “gender and racial equity,” and linked trafficking to “marginalized groups.” These initiatives gave taxpayer money to independent and apolitical groups pushing radical ideology under the guise of being…Open
The term Red-Green Alliance refers to the growing left-wing political coalition of neo-Marxist progressives and anti-Western Islamists. Despite the inherent contradictions between these two ideologies (with progressives championing feminism and LGBTQ+ causes while Islam forbids homosexuality and restricts women), a de facto coalition has emerged. Both groups are united in their commitment to tear down the traditional American way of life. The post Introduction to the Red-Green Alliance Against Western Civilization appeared first on The Center for Renewing America .
Citizenship means more than residence in a particular place. It is the recognition of a land, culture, and history as one’s own. It involves the adoption and defense of a common way of life. Citizens may disagree about the best path forward for their nation, but all are united in their commitment to protect it. The unwritten contract of citizenship is verbalized when public officers swear to uphold the Constitution and when schoolchildren say the pledge of allegiance. Adherents to ideologies that attack the foundational pillars of our society—freedom of speech, freedom of religion, Christian morality—cannot sincerely swear allegiance to the United States of America. Such is the case with Marxist-Islamism. The term Red-Green Alliance…Open
