That is a good list.
We’ve got to keep money from corrupting the representatives somehow, especially from foreign sources.
We need to make sure that the fed goes away forever and that money should never again be fiat.
Balanced budget every year, no exceptions.

Good list...I would add.....Supreme court must pass original intent test. Maybe a constitutional quorum of originalists and originalists only, exists in some number. This quorom votes to select the best candidates to the supreme court.
The liberal supreme courts have super legistated from the bench and have derailed our constitution, long ago. Evidently the framers didnt fully protect the constitution from judical tyrrany.
