Here is the Heritage Foundation doing what it does best — outlining policy proposals on the important issues:
This volume, Blueprint for a New Administration: Priorities for the President, details specific steps that the new Administration can take immediately upon assuming office to demonstrate its commitment to the long-term vision presented in the second volume.
A number of the recommendations in Blueprint for a New Administration can be implemented unilaterally by the President on day one via executive order, but some of the most important recommendations—like repealing Obamacare and reforming Social Security—will require congressional approval. As a consequence, the recommendations in this volume are meant to identify the specific steps the new Administration can take to influence congressional action where necessary.
Blueprint for a New Administration will, however, go a long way toward strengthening America’s standing in the world, meeting critical national security needs, rebuilding constitutional government, and reducing the federal government’s heavy footprint on the economy and civil society.
Priorities for the President
Since the publication of Mandate for Leadership in 1981, The Heritage Foundation has sought to inform presidential Administrations with principled, conservative policy recommendations to address the issues facing the country. This year, given the magnitude of the challenges confronting our nation, Heritage is publishing three volumes in the Mandate for Leadership Series.
All three volumes in the Mandate for Leadership Series deliver a clear, unified policy vision for Congress and the President. Undergirding each volume is a commitment to upholding the Constitution and to building an America where freedom, opportunity, prosperity, and civil society flourish.
Part I, Blueprint for Balance: A Federal Budget for 2017, released in March 2016, provides detailed recommendations for the annual congressional budget.
Part II, Blueprint for Reform: A Comprehensive Policy Agenda for a New Administration, released in July 2016, establishes a long-term vision, and policies to achieve that vision, that requires presidential leadership and congressional action.
This volume, Blueprint for a New Administration: Priorities for the President, details specific steps that the new Administration can take immediately upon assuming office to demonstrate its commitment to the long-term vision presented in the second volume.
