What would you change?

[Sharpienads]

If you could amend the US Constitution, what would you change?

If it's too hard to only pick one, give me your top three.

Here's mine:

1) Term limits for congress. 2 terms for senators, 6 for representatives

2) Flat or Fair Tax (EVERYBODY pays the same percentage) w/ repeal of the 16th amendment

3) Repeal of the 17th Amendment

The 14th, which has been bastardized to allow illegal aliens to drop anchor babies in the USA.

Agreed on that one, and an amendment that would eliminate congressional powers to set their salary. Also, eliminating the current voting system and abolishing the electoral college- basically to win an election you have to have all the states tally up the votes and whoever got the most won.

So, yer sayin' low population states might as well not show up to vote then...

I am gonna have to go with term limits for all public servants including Judges. Serving for life on the bench is just ridiculous. Especially when they are appointed.

I could agree with this. As long as you add, dead people in Chicago can't vote more than once during an election cycle.

[jmg8550]

Yep, forgot that one.

[Zundfolge]

It doesn't matter what you change ... progressives would still have twisted the language in the last century and we'd be in the same boat we're in today.

I'm with you Marlin, the electoral college allows each state to have a voice in the Presidential election. Without the electoral college the president would be elected by CA, NY, IL, and a couple of other highly populated states. CO, WY, NM, NV, MO, SD, ND, MN, ID and a few others might as well stay home.

I say no to term limits, the people must be allowed to vote for who they want. I know that this allows dirtbags to be in office for decades but the people make that decision and we can't deny the people their choice.

I would abolish the IRS (16th). I would institute a flat tax on everyone who makes $10K or more, this would give a huge incentive for people to educate themselves and earn more money. This would also make almost all income earners pay for the government services they receive instead of the system now where roughly 50% pay for government services and the other 50% skate.

I would modify the wording in the 14th to disallow the illegals that the 14th has been twisted into helping.
