Increased Transparency: One Law, One Subject Rule for Congress.

This proposal forces Congress to pass laws that address only one clearly defined subject, ending the practice of combining many unrelated issues into single, complex bills. For citizens, this means greater transparency in the legislative process, making it easier to understand the exact changes introduced by each new law. Furthermore, citizens gain the power to challenge non-compliant laws in court.
Key points
Every new law must cover only one specific subject, which must be clearly stated in the bill's title.
If a law contains unrelated subjects, the entire law or the non-compliant sections can be declared void (invalid).
Citizens gain the right to sue the government to challenge laws that violate this rule, increasing public oversight of legislation.
