Potential Problems​

Problem 1: Appointments Clause Challenge​

Naming private citizens with government authority may face constitutional challenge. Recommendation: Structure as congressional appointees under Article I. The 9/11 Commission provides precedent for private citizens with government investigative power.

Problem 2: Personal Security Threats​

Given the nature of this investigation, Designated Trusted Investigators face real security risks. Mitigation: Section 9 now provides dedicated security details and criminalizes surveillance of investigators.

Problem 3: All Three Investigators Compromised​

No mechanism if all three are incapacitated. Mitigation: Section 10 provides succession mechanism. If all three are simultaneously unable to serve, congressional committees should have backup appointment authority.

Problem 4: Coordination Between Teams​

Six independent teams may duplicate effort. Mitigation: Section 12 provides voluntary coordination mechanism while preserving independence. Redundancy is a feature, not a bug -- it makes suppression nearly impossible.

Recommendations​

  1. Address Appointments Clause by structuring as congressional appointees
  2. Add backup congressional appointment authority if all three investigators cannot serve
  3. Consider adding independent legal counsel funded by investigation budget (DONE in Section 2(d))
  4. Ensure investigators' Schedule A tracking is public so citizens can monitor progress
