I’d word it a little differently but yes.

28th: Congress (House and Senate) does not have the power to exempt itself, the Executive Branch, or the Judiciary Branch, from ANY laws it passes. All laws will apply equally to all branches of government, its agencies and offices, courts, just like those laws apply to US citizens.

29th: Term Limits: No member shall serve in the House for more than six (6) terms as a Representative, regardless of continuity. No member shall serve in the Senate for more than two (2) terms as a Senator, regardless of continuity.

30th: Recall of Elected Representatives: Establishing a mechanism for the people to have recourse to remove their federal representatives and senators when said member of Congress is not representing them. The people have a right to elect their representatives and senators directly, and if such disatisfaction occurs because a large enouhg percentage of voters feel disenfranchised and can organize enough signatures for recall, then a recall shall be held. (Still thinking about the details on this one, this is just outlaying the general principle.)

I’d have to put a certain exception in to the 29th Amendment for Term Limits for Senators. That would be in the case a senator served two terms in the senate and then became Vice President, that that person would be allowed to still be President of the Senate as Vice-President.

How about one saying that any new legislation to be voted upon must be less than X words in length, any additional legislation will need to be put in a separate bill that would have to voted upon separately?

Or one how about one that bans adding any extra crap (ryders, ear marks) on it when it moves from the house to the senate and vice versa?
