Weekly civic intelligence report · v2.2
Venezuela rejects a US-proposed plan for Maduro to gradually give up power. This represents failed diplomatic engagement in the region.
This event involves failed diplomatic negotiations between Venezuela and the US regarding Maduro's potential power transition. While geopolitically interesting, it has zero direct impact on US constitutional structures. No US election integrity affected (0), no US rule of law impact (0), no US separation of powers (0), no US civil rights (0), no US institutional capture (0), no US corruption (0), no US violence (0). The mechanism is listed as 'policy_change' but this is foreign policy discussion with no actual US policy implementation or constitutional mechanism triggered. International scope with no domestic constitutional footprint yields 0.0 scope modifier. B-score is low: modest media interest in Venezuela diplomatic news (Layer1: ~8/20), minimal strategic distraction value (Layer2: ~6/20), slight diplomatic posturing intentionality (+3). Final B-score ~11. This is classic foreign policy noise - newsworthy for international relations but constitutionally irrelevant to US democratic infrastructure.
Monitor for any actual US policy implementation or congressional action that might create constitutional mechanism, but diplomatic rejection of foreign proposal has no constitutional scoring relevance.
