Mr. Trump, don’t just establish term limits for federal lawmakers. The states need to also include a provision in the amendment that not only gives a given state the power to recall a corrupt lawmaker, but also a provision that gives a 3/4 state supermajority the power to recall a bad-apple lawmaker for a given state.

The states can also repeal the ill-conceived 17th Amendment. The 16th Amendment can go too.

Here you go.

Illustrations for a new era ‘THE AMERICAN REFORMATION’:

************************************************
AMENDMENT XXVIII (State Sufferage)

To restore effective suffrage of State Legislatures to Congress, the following amendment is proposed:

************************************************
Section 1.
A Senator in Congress shall be subject to recall by their respective state legislature or by voter referendum in their respective state.

Section 2.
Term limits for Senators in Congress shall be set by vote in their respective state legislatures but in no case shall be set less than twelve years nor more than eighteen years.

Section 3:
The seventeenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.

************************************************

************************************************
AMENDMENT XXIX (‘Thirty-State Quash Authority’)

To redress the balance of powers between the federal government and the States, the following amendment is proposed:

************************************************
Section 1.
Upon a majority vote in three-fifths of state legislatures, specific federal statutes, federal court decisions and executive directives of any form shall be repealed and made void in any state, territory, or possession of the United States.

Section 2.
State legislatures in agreement with results derived from Section 1 of this amendment shall sign a state quash authority directive delineating the specific federal statutes, federal court decisions or federal executive directives affected, said directive addressed and delivered to the Congress of the United States becoming immediately effective as of the date of delivery.
************************************************

Note that these illustrations are written SO THAT THE STATES ARE GIVEN RESPONSIBILITY AND AUTHORITY. Amendments should be written so that it is clear that the federal government has no mandate regarding the interpretation or selective enforcement or non-enforcement of these types of amendments.

For example, the flawed 10th Amendment leaves all powers not enumerated in the US Constitution to the States or to the People. However, there is no mechanism left to the states to check the federal government with the 10th Amendment save for the appointment of US Senators by state legislatures which was abolished under the 17th Amendment. As it is, the 10th Amendment jurisdiction is left to the federal judiciary without any voice or role for the States. The result of these compounded flaws has yielded a highly centralized federal government whereby power is attained by an enormous federal government and funded by the Federal Reserve.

________________________________________________

Now is offered a new illustration for an Amendment XXX:

************************************************
AMENDMENT XXX (‘Sunset and Repeal of the 16th Amendment’)

To facilitate age-of-awareness connectivity to the necessary task of funding the federal government of the United States:

************************************************
Section 1.
All forms of federal taxation in the United States, and unto to territories of its jurisdiction, that are derived under the authority of the sixteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States shall be abolished by April 16, 2022 and shall be repealed immediately .

Section 2.
As of April 16, 2022, the sixteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.

Section 3:
Enforcement of federal tax liabilities shall cease as of January 1, 2025 with exceptions granted to active judicial proceedings initiated before January 1, 2025.
************************************************

By ‘Age Of Awareness’ means technologies of connectivity. These technologies did not exist in the 19th century and on to the 1913 installation of the 16th Amendment. Had such suitable technology existed, the 16th Amendment would never have been installed. The 16th Amendment is in fact, a poor design proffered by persons of poor judgment. It is completely unsuitable in the Age of Awareness.
