A Presidency on the Move

Federal Visibility, Military Efficiency, and Transparency in Action

 

2028 Presidential Campaign of Martin A. Ginsburg, RN

February 2, 2026


I. Introduction: Restoring the President to the People

The Office of the President is not an abstraction confined to the capital. It is a visible, active, and responsive presence in the life of the nation. A presidency of integrity is not one of isolation, but of structured proximity to the governed, accountability to the public, and operational transparency in all affairs.

 

This campaign proposes a disciplined structure for state engagement, foreign relations, executive mobility using military infrastructure, and radical transparency in all scheduling and expenditures.


In-person town-hall–formatted talks are intended to demonstrate this candidate’s understanding that speaking to the people is not nearly as important as speaking with the people who own their government.


II. State Engagement Plan: Two Visits Per State, Per Term

Total commitment: 50 states × 2 visits = 100 distinct state visits over one four-year term


A. Structure of Visits

Each state will receive two uniquely purposed visits:

Visit One: Governance Access - Meetings with the Governor, legislative leadership, and Attorney General - Public town hall in the federal congressional district housing the state capital - Real-time casework and engagement by federal agency representatives - All U.S. Senators and Representatives from the state invited to attend and participate

Visit Two: Civic Listening Across Districts - Conducted in central hubs designed to provide access to multiple congressional districts - Civic forums emphasizing open questioning, complaint resolution, and policy dialogue - Federal agencies onsite to assist constituents directly - Participation by elected federal officials again welcomed and facilitated


B. Visit Duration and Timing

Each visit spans seven full calendar days:

 100 visits × 7 days = 700 presidential days reserved

 

These visits are distributed evenly over four years to prevent disruption by global or domestic contingencies.


C. Public Accountability

Post-visit accountability includes: - A 10-day public report outlining key issues, federal responses, and assigned follow-up responsibilities - Filing of each report with the Executive Office of the President and public posting online

 

“The President must belong to all the people—so the President must go to all the people.”


III. Global Engagement and Diplomacy Timeframe

Foreign engagement is essential to national security, economic competitiveness, and multilateral stability.


A. Allocation of International Travel

The President shall reserve 50 full weeks over four years for international engagement (approximately 12.5 weeks per year), including: - UNGA, NATO, APEC, G7, G20, and WTO summits - Bilateral state visits - Emergency humanitarian or security site visits - Strategic trade missions and treaty consultations


These engagements reinforce diplomatic presence, early awareness of partner needs, and the visible commitment of the United States to its allies and trading partners.


B. Travel Reporting

All international engagements will be pre-scheduled with: - Strategic objectives - Participating agencies - Budget estimates and post-trip disclosures

No more than two consecutive weeks may be spent abroad without a return to U.S. soil.


IV. Domestic Time Anchoring in the Capital

To ensure accountability to core executive functions, the President will reserve 50 full weeks of personal attendance in Washington, D.C., over the term (approximately 12.5 weeks per year).


This time is dedicated to: - Executive orders - Federal agency performance review - Congressional sessions and bill negotiation - Constitutional duties, including State of the Union addresses and nominations


V. Presidential Travel and Lodging Reform

A disciplined, security-appropriate, and fiscally responsible travel policy reinforces public trust.


A. Authorized Air Platforms

All executive travel shall utilize U.S. military aircraft unless prohibited by foreign protocol or exceptional circumstances. Authorized platforms include:

 - C-17 Globemaster III

 - C-130J Hercules

 - C-5M Galaxy

 - V-22B Osprey

 - CH-53E\K Super\King Stallion

 - UH-60M Black Hawk


B. Housing Policy

The President shall lodge at Bachelor Officer Quarters (BOQs) or equivalent housing on military installations.


Exceptions apply when: - Accompanied by the presidential spouse (family or diplomatic housing permitted), or - No federal or military lodging exists within 100 miles of scheduled events (documented and disclosed civilian lodging permitted)


VI. Emergency Scheduling and Calendar Flex Time

To address national emergencies and unforeseen contingencies, 150 presidential days are reserved over four years for flexible deployment, including: - Natural disasters - Legislative crises - Domestic or foreign security events

These days are tracked, disclosed, and distinguished from personal vacation time.


VII. Transparency and Executive Public Oversight

Every act of public travel or engagement must be reported, evaluated, and accessible to the public.


A. Rolling Itinerary Publication

 - Online publication of a rolling 30-day presidential schedule

 - Locations, event categories, public access instructions, and agency participation listed


B. Monthly Disclosure of Travel Metrics

 - Mode of transportation

 - Event purpose and participants

 - Estimated taxpayer cost

 - Federal security footprint


C. Post-Engagement Memos

 - 10-day public summaries after each visit

 - Documentation of constituent concerns, executive statements, and follow-up actions


VIII. Summary Time Allocation Overview (Four-Year Term)

 - Foreign engagement and diplomacy: 215 days
