My thoughts on what needs to be done to save this country. I guess I should call this a Partial Plan, as I welcome all suggestions and comments.

#0: Repeal Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid.

[JoeA]

I like it!

I'd like to see the President with one 6 year term

[txnativegop]

I agree with everything I see, but I would suggest changing the 17th Amendment as follows: Elect one Senator statewide, let the other be chosen by the State legislature.

Would probably be difficult to do . . .

I haven’t been much for term limits but I have changed my mind on that issue.

I agree with it, nice!

[txnativegop]

I can hear the Left scream “THEY ARE TRYING TO REVIVE THE CONFEDERACY!” on this one.

[JoeA]

I felt the same way. But term limits is less evil than what we have now, a permanent ruling political class.

[Repeal 16-17]

Good work, especially #3 and #4. ;)

I am concerned about #2. A single issue rule could easily be abused by the federal courts.

#10 Require 2/3 vote for budget bill (all the time)

#11 Call for a three month session anually for Congress (unless called into an emergency session by the president not to last longer than 1 month after called)

#12 Require bills to be read and understood by all reps and senators when voted on.

#0: Repeal Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid.

Ummm... I like but... bill of attainder?

[JoeA]

He might be less accountable, which may or may not be a good thing. Being elected a second time at least allows him (or her) to go back to the people for affirmation of policies.

bttt

[JoeA]

... and the problem is?... ;^]

[Islander7]

Abolish all federal employee unions. Talk about a conflict of interest!!

[Repeal The 17th]

Count me in.

[JoeA]

I’m not sure I follow you. If a bill says, for example, that the US may not sell shelled walnuts to Fiji, it’s pretty specific. How could the courts abuse that?

[Revolting cat!]

We should rule out keeping the same Congressmen year after year, and this is why things can not be any better.

[JoeA]

Absolutely. How can you go on strike against your country? Oh wait, what am I thinking -— it’s not their country, it’s their sugar daddy.
