About Constitutional Accountability Now (CAN 2026)

Constitutional Accountability Now (CAN 2026) is a nonpartisan documentation initiative dedicated to structured records of constitutional oversight activity across the federal government.

CAN 2026 is currently administered by Paul Zurav LLC. Formation of a standalone 501(c)(3) educational nonprofit is planned upon completion of operational and compliance readiness.

CAN 2026 does not support or oppose candidates, political parties, or policy outcomes. Its purpose is to preserve verified public records of institutional conduct so that oversight authority and its use, or non-use, remain traceable over time.

Institutional Purpose

CAN 2026 operates as public documentation infrastructure.

The organization collects, verifies, and publishes structured records of:

  • Oversight authority established under constitutional or statutory law

  • Oversight actions taken by federal institutions

  • Oversight mechanisms that were available but not exercised

  • Public hearings, votes, committee proceedings, and statutory compliance activity

  • Executive branch responses to oversight activity

All documentation is grounded in primary sources and publicly verifiable records.

What CAN 2026 Builds

CAN 2026 maintains a structured, searchable repository of oversight activity designed for long-term archival continuity.

The archive enables:

  • Review of verified documentation

  • Historical traceability of institutional oversight

  • Documentation of oversight gaps without interpretive framing

The repository includes:

  • Case Files — Structured documentation of specific oversight events

  • Oversight Status Index — Organized tracking of statutory authority, hearings, votes, and compliance activity

  • Public Records Summaries — Direct links to official documents and source material

Documentation Standards

All published records follow defined evidentiary standards:

  • Primary-source priority, with official records used whenever available

  • Independent verification when secondary reporting is referenced

  • Neutral presentation without motive, intent, or policy conclusions

  • Source transparency, with factual claims linked to verifiable documentation

  • Structured recordkeeping organized by date, institution, authority, and documented action

These standards preserve archival integrity and uniform application across all cases.

Constitutional Context

The United States Constitution assigns oversight authority to specific institutions, including Congress, the courts, inspectors general, and executive branch agencies.

When oversight authority is exercised, it becomes part of the public record.
When oversight authority is declined, delayed, or unused, that absence is also reflected in the institutional record.

CAN 2026 documents both conditions as observable oversight activity.

Governance Structure

CAN 2026 is currently administered by Paul Zurav LLC. Upon formal nonprofit formation, the organization will operate under a Board of Directors responsible for oversight of institutional standards, financial compliance, and long-term archival continuity.

The organization will not maintain voting membership governance. Directors will be elected by the Board in accordance with governing documents to preserve continuity and uniform documentation standards.

This governance structure is designed to:

  • Maintain consistent evidentiary standards across administrations

  • Ensure documentation methodology remains uniform over time

  • Prevent procedural shifts based on electoral cycles

  • Preserve archival stability independent of changes in political leadership

Governance is structured to support neutrality, continuity, and institutional permanence.

Public Engagement

Individuals may:

  • Review published case files and oversight records

  • Subscribe to documentation updates

  • Submit verifiable source material for review

  • Support the infrastructure that maintains and expands the archive

Participation does not confer governance authority or political affiliation.

Neutrality and Legal Compliance

CAN 2026 operates under defined documentation standards and administrative oversight designed to preserve neutrality and continuity.

The organization:

  • Does not engage in electoral campaign activity

  • Does not coordinate with political candidates or parties

  • Does not advocate for specific legislation

  • Does not issue policy endorsements

All published materials are structured as neutral documentation grounded in public records.

Upon nonprofit formation, CAN 2026 will operate under applicable federal and state nonprofit regulations governing 501(c)(3) educational organizations.
