The platform of the Falconist Party incorporates some features of the Parliamentary system into the US Constitution such as having the House and Senate both elected by Proportional Representation.

The House will have its seats apportioned among the political parties on the basis of the percentage of the popular vote won by each party. The Senate would have its seats apportioned among all political parties in proportion to the percentage of states won by each party. In both houses, bonus seats will be awarded to the party that has won the pluarity of votes as well as the Presidency.

The President will be elected every five-years by the direct popular vote. Whomever wins 50.1% of the direct popular vote will be elected President. If no candidate wins the minimum vote, then a runoff will take place between the top two candidates and whomever wins the most states wins.

Senators, Congressmen, and the President will be elected co-terminously every year ending in "5" or "0".

In addition, the people will be able to amend the US Constitution, set aside Supreme Court decisions, and make and invalidate laws and treaties through national refferundums.
