What Sort of Amendments could be passed?
Examples
Examples?
So they don't have any particular amendments that they definitively want to propose?

A prohibition of using international treaties and law to govern the domestic law of the USA
That doesn't even make sense. Treaties and international law are not enforcible domestically without Congress specifically passing a law enforcing them. So that's the situation as it stands now, no amendment needed.

Reducing federal spending power (Fixing the General Welfare Clause)
"Fixing it"? Well what's wrong with it? According to the extreme right, it already has absolutely zero power - right?

UN small arms treaty is a perfect example. And with the nuclear option opened, why should a simple majority be able to backdoor ammend the constitution?
Thats not how you change the second ammendment.
I believe the 2nd ammendment should have said the people can have any weaponry available to the government without restrictions
