re: Constitutional Amendments

The 28th Amendment would eliminate the natural-born citizenship requirement for the presidency

frick no.

The 29th Amendment would allow for legislative vetoes of executive and regulatory actions.

frick no. If you want to curb executive powers, amend article 2. Or, Congress could just do its job. Everything Congress complains about vis-a-vis executive power, was granted to the executive and regulatory agencies by Congress

The 30th Amendment would seek to avoid partisan impeachments while making it easier to remove dangerous presidents. It would reform the presidential impeachment process by replacing “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors” as cause for impeachment with “serious criminal acts, or for serious abuse of the public trust.”

Meaningless. Impeachment will always be, and was meant to always be, a purely political function. The proposed amendment does not change that the standard for what is "impeachable" is whatever the hell the House of Representatives says it is.

---

The 31st Amendment would set 18-year term limits for Supreme Court justices, with staggered terms allowing for a vacancy every two years

---

Oppose. Would support age limit at 70 or 75 though.

quote:

---

The 32nd Amendment would make proposing and ratifying future amendments a little easier.

---

Oppose. It shouldn't be easy to do.

Those proposals really fricking suck.
