A constitutional convention with strict rules, of only strengthening our constitution, the way or forefathers wrote it, would be one of the best gifts that our politicians can give us. I have a suggestion on what they should be doing first. Get rid of the 16th and 17th amendment. The 15th was to give us the IRS, and the 17th gave us electing the senators, instead of each state appointing them. By getting rid of the 17th amendment, we can get back our 10th amendment to the constitution. Once that’s done, we can begin to get rid of 3/4 of all these alphabet government agencies. The only ones that will really complain would be those bureaucrats that will be forced to find another job in the private companies, that they theroughly despise.

Don't forget, we also need a definitions clause.

Marriage, the word "is"...
