"The modern United States can trace its revival to the Constitution of 1920, written after the end of the Second American Revolution. Led by Co-President James Reed, the New Founding Fathers sought to revitalize a country that was succumbing to political infighting and institutional rot. While they certainly viewed the Original Founding Fathers with awe and respect, the general view was that a new Constitution had to be written to reflect the current state of the country. The new Constitution reflected the ideals of James Reed’s political philosophy and its influence nowhere more obvious than the structure of the federal government.  


In the years before the Revolution, the power of the Presidency declined as Congress asserted its own power for its own interests. The last decades of the First United States saw significant political instability and deadlock in Congress and a President so weaked it was unable to fill the power vacuum. The new Constitution shifted power to the executive branch, while decentralizing its power and expanding its accountability. The most significant reform was to the byzantine Electoral College, which directly contributed to the constitutional crisis after the 1916 election. The College became a federal institution to ensure uniformity in the election although the states still oversaw the process.Today the Electoral College elects the co-Presidents directly on a single ballot.   


Critical to the reforms, the College became a standing institution, tasked with the ability to oversee the Presidency. Most importantly the Electors vote every year to determine if each Co-Presidents has their confidence to govern; if the vote fails, the co-President must resign. Additional reforms allowed it to call for a vote whenever it pleased. This ensured that all Co-Presidents could be held accountable for their actions quickly instead at the ballot box or a lengthy impeachment process. Later on a standing committee would be established to monitor the Co-Presidents while the College was not in session, which would gain greater oversight powers over the executive branch.  


In turn the executive branch became the center of political power, but no longer placed with the hands of a single person. The offices of the Co-Presidents were formed, unofficially known as the Triumvirate. Collectively the head of state and government, they all exercised executive power together. Furthermore the decree powers were clearly defined, although any decree required unanimous consent from all Co-Presidents and later an enabling act from the Council of States . An afterthought in the original Constitution, the Vice-Presidency was given a purpose. Under the new constitution, the Vice President is the co-President's liaison to the executive, officially representing the Administration in the legislature as a nonvoting member.. In the original constitution  they were able to submit a bill on behalf of the President to the Council for consideration, which gave the executive branch some legislative prerogative.


The Cabinet was also clarified under the Constitution of 1920, however it did not take its modern form until the C0-Presidency of the reformist Alan Berkley. Among his wide ranging constitutional reforms, it included the delegation of powers from the Co-President to the Cabinet. This included the power to submit bills to the Council of States, which was transferred from the Vice President to the Cabinet. Today as a result of the reforms and tradition, the Cabinet is the de-facto center of the executive branch from which the majority of executive power is exercised. Nevertheless, the Cabinet is still largely an advisory body and the powers granted to it are largely a rubber stamp for the Triumvirate.   


The corrupt heart of the old United States, the bicameral Congress was abolished and replaced with the unicameral House of Representatives. Instead of career politicians struggling for power in the legislature, term limits were implemented so representatives could only be reelected once. As a result, the House is significantly influenced by the presence of former Presidents, who become members after their term is up.  The House retained much of the power of the old Congress, such as the ability to create legislation and confirm the co-President’s general nominees such as for Vice President and the Cabinet. In addition the House has the sole power to make judicial appointments to the Supreme Court, Constitutional Court, and the National Tribune, although they require a two-thirds majority vote.


Arguably the biggest influence Reed’s ideals had on the constitution can be seen in the judicial branch. While Reed wanted a directly elected Supreme Court with fixed terms, traditionalists disagreed fearing politics would take root in the court. A compromise was made; while the traditional appointment method would stay, all the court members would be subject to a 20 year term. However the most significant change to the judicial branch was the creation of the Constitutional Court and the National Tribune. In the Constitution of 1920, a Constitutional Court was created to specifically monitor the constitutionality of actions done by the federal government, especially the executive branch as well as resolving disputes involving the federal government and interstate disputes.


Named after the Roman Tribune of the People, the National Tribune serves as an investigative chamber with the power to investigate possible violations of laws and regulations by officials in the federal government and raise impeachments if needed. Independent of the Department of Justice, Reed intended for it to function as a check against the other branches of the federal government. To ensure that the Tribune is insulated from partisan politics and political figures, they are indirectly elected by state legislatures, usually with input from local judges. Since the 1920s, the role of the Tribune has greatly expanded its oversight to include state, county, and sometimes local governments. In addition the Tribune is one of the few bodies that can conduct investigations of Free States governments because of its constitutional authority. "
