1. Balanced Budget Amendment




2. Overturn Roe vs. Wade
3. Institute term limits for congress - 2 terms for the senate, 6 for the house
4. Abolish electoral college and institute NPV w/ IRV

5. Require that presidential GE debates include every candidate who is on the ballot in enough states to theoretically win and is legally qualified for the office - abolish the polling requirement (i.e. give third parties a voice) (Even under the loosest possible defintion of "on the ballot in enough states to theoretically win the election", such debates would have only included six candidates in 2012, so it's not as if this is infeasible or anything)

6. Overturn Obergefell vs. Hodges and FORBID any division of the federal government or state/federal court system from legislating or judging any marriage-related issue.  Only state legislatures and referendums would have any jursidiction here. Under the amendment, federal marriage benefits would remain but would only be available to man/woman couples. States could individually choose to recongize other unions but these would only have state-level benefits and other states would be under no obligation to recognize them.

7. Expand the size of the house. Probably to 600 members or so.
