Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.

It should be some sort of reform of our shambolic election system. It would be balanced budgets or term limits or some such horrible idea.

I don't think there will be an amendment for a while, but I will actually say a life at conception amendment 10-15 years after the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.

I hope for adoption of an amendment that rewrites Section 1 of the 14th Amendment, second sentence, to make its meaning narrower and clearer.
This sentence needs to be repealed: “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
It needs to be replaced with rules that are much more detailed and specific. The rules of what states cannot do should be as specific as the rules we see in the Bill of Rights -- the first eight amendments. States should have clear guidelines about what they cannot do, and the federal judiciary should have far less discretion in choosing which state/local laws to strike down.
In Jan. 2014 I drafted a proposal to do this. I have mailed copies of it to members of the House Judiciary Committee and Senate Judiciary Committee, and I will continue doing so.
I support having an Article V convention too, if Congress won't propose it. See conventionofstates.com

probably a good guess.  History favors something like this, anyway, since more amendments have dealt with the way we select our national CEO than anything else.
