I have great respect for the constitution and think it’s a great document that has served and guided the country well. But I would like to improve it, as it has been done over the course of history.
I would propose following amendments:
- Change the voting system: Abolish the electoral college and move to direct PV elections for president.
- Reform congress: House members should be elected for four years, not two. Half of the members should be up for election each two years.
- Term limits for congress: No more than three House and two senate terms allowed. Running again after a six year break. Same for the president: Two-Term limit only for consecutive terms. - Supreme Court appointments only for 12 years in total.
- Ban Gerrymandering. Non-partisan redistricting commission draws constituencies.
- Ban Super Pacs. Move to public funded campaigns. Small donations from private citizens should remain legal of course.
- Modify the second amendment: The right to bear arms should remain legal, but only for the purpose of self-defense and hunting. Add a provision that allows the federal government or states to regulate gun sale and use.
- Amendment for automatic voter registration
