I’d like to see a 28th Amendment where all outside political funding is outlawed. All lobbying is outlawed.

A fund is created for Presidential, House & Senate campaigns.

Each side gets identical identical funds. Each side gets identical time on all news outlets. When one ad runs, the opposing ad must run. The best man or woman wins.

Any negative ads against the opponent and you’re disqualified.

You have 6 months ONLY prior to the election to start campaigning. Start any sooner and you’re disqualified.

Limit all terms to 2 terms max.

No retirement unless you go on to complete 20 or years of combined civil service.

"You have 6 months ONLY prior to the election to start campaigning. Start any sooner and you’re disqualified."

That's the one point I would definitely agree with; in fact, I would shorten it to three or four months. I would also lengthen the term for the US House to four years, and impose term limits of three and two, respectively, for the House and Senate - 12 years max for both.
