For all you 29%ers out there.
What minor changes would you make?
I would get started with the line below. Taken directly from the Constitution of the Confederate States of America
March 11, 1861.
(20) Every law, or resolution having the force of law, shall relate to but one subject, and that shall be expressed in the title.
I'd put term limits on judges.
And I'd prevent the 14th Amendment from ever passing.
And I'd expressly forbid a federal income tax.
I'd add: that every bill passed by Congress must cite it's specific Constitutional authority; that the purpose of regulatory agencies is to monitor enforcement, meaning all new regulations must be passed specifically by Congress; that all appropriations must be limited directly to the powers granted to the Federal Congress in clauses 1 through 18 in Article 1, Section 9 - all other appropriations are therefore Constitutional; that the preamble is just that - an introduction - and that therefore the phrase "to promote the general welfare does not hold force of statute"; that enumerated rights embody no "penumbras"; repeal amendments 17 and 26; add clauses to amendment 24 stating that each voter, upon attaining voting age will demonstrate competency to vote by passing with a grade of 70% or greater an bipartisan examination pertaining to the provision contained within this document and that any person not being able to identify both federal senators, the representative of his congressional district, the president and vice presidents of the United States will not be permitted to vote until the next federal election, at which time the same questions will be posed; a 2/3 majority of both houses of Congress in two separate sessions is sufficient to overturn any decision of the U.S. Supreme Court; the federal judiciary has no enforcement power - only the executive and legislative branches have that authority; Presidential executive orders cannot void, even temporarily, laws duly passed by the Legislature; if the Legislature makes provisions for the temporary suspension of a given law, for example in time of emergency, that suspension must be for a preordained period of time and the situations that can be considered such an emergency must be specifically defined. If given time, I might be able to come up with a few more!
Just thought of two more: there is no constitutional right not to be offended and that property cannot commit a crime, therefore civil forfeiture is a violation of your 4th Amendment right to be secure in your property and in your 5th Amendment protection against seizure of property without just compensation.
