A few of my favorites:

Repeal the 16th and 17th Amendments

Require all states to be bicameral and the upper house State Senate be composed of one senator for each county and be elected from within that county.

Require Congress and Congress only to set the uniform value of currency.

Limit Federal ownership of land within a state to no more than 10% of the total lands of that state.

Require States maintain a separate election roll of voters that is purged 30 days after the new president is sworn in. Require ID to reestablish presence on the roll and require ID to cast a vote.

An amendment I’d like to see is that candidates can only accept campaign donations from individuals that are legally allowed to vote for them.

No union donations, no corporate donations, no PAC donations. Only donations from individual persons that can vote for them.

Limit state and/or local government ownership to 10% or less. Californicator elite rich, mainly DemocRats have abused the so called donorship of their estates for decades. They donate their land and homes to the government. Then, they use it for vacations or living on it as so called care takers. Also, they charge admission to visit with strict control re visitation dates and hours. The Hearst Estate is a classic example of this abuse.

Then, the counties with those properties, lose the property tax revenue each year and then have to provide police and fire protection without any tax income from these so called non profits.

If you are on welfare, you can’t vote.

You really want this to be a political decision?

Agreed on the first three. Consider these: Change the standards of treaty ratification to 3/4 of the State legislatures.

Fix that stupid pair of commas in the Supremacy Clause to make it unmistakable that an unconstitutional treaty is void.

Clarify the Commerce Clause as directed to preventing protectionist legislation among States, only.

As to the Federal lands specification, I think the Article I Section 8 restrictions are fine. There should be no such thing, not even National Parks. The States can do that or not, as they see fit.
