What amendments would you make to the American constitution?

[Ed Anger]

I'd overthrow Ide. But in a gesture of Mercy worthy of a Caesar, he would be allowed to retire to an estate with an annual stipend. Of VHS movies.

Tim would be executed. Horribly.

[Ideologue]

...Actually, if I were given dictatorial powers, I would abolish the Constitution.  What good would it be, when the Philosopher King has arrived?

I'd go like Seneca.

He still wouldn't get round to 1941.

That's Ide, out in the hall...

These are the changes needed:

1- Term limits for Congress. Two terms for Senators (12 years max), 6 terms for the House (12 years max as well). This is the only way to control corruption and special interests, eliminating the permanent political class we have now. The fouding fathers never had in mind people in Congress for 30 years and more.

2- Senators elected by internal vote at the State Houses, so now winning at State level becomes relevant at national level.

3- Term limits for Justices. Maybe 20 years? IDK.

4- Regulatory power back to Congress, not with the gazillion agencies and departments the executive branch now has.

5- Mandatory yearly budgets for the goverment. Goverment shutdown if they go over budget.

6- Power back to the States. No more departments of agriculture or education. Federal goverments is foreign policy and military.

7- Tax reform. Simple tax code that everyone can understand. No capital gains tax or foreign investment tax. No inherency tax.

8- Safety net as low as possible, to help only the disabilited, the elderly, etc., but not the fit in working age people.

I don't understand why everyone is in love with strangling free elections with term limits.

Wow this sounds...dreadful!

You can't let people have what they want.

I don't get that, either.  But I think it's aimed more at politicians they don't like, rather than ones they do. 

[Ideologue]

I'm not sure "regulatory power back to Congress" is necessary.  I think they have that power now.  You know, um, the one where they have the power to pass laws?

Politicians I like....hmmmm....that's a tough one.

To limit democracy, which is bad, in favor of technocracy, which is good.
