frick. No. One of the biggest disasters was allowing direct election of Senators. NOTHING can be population driven. The entire structure of our Republic was designed to protect the rights of the minority against the tyranny of the majority. You think Rhode Island would agree to be pushed around by Virginia if there weren't checks on the tyranny of the majority?

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

That's horseshite. Read some of the bills Congress passes. They explicitly give away authority to regulatory agencies by permitting the regulatory agencies to execute their duties "as needed."

quote:

The 29th Amendment ... LOVE THIS ONE! Curb the presidential powers


No. Presidential power is already supposed to be limited by Article II. Because congress and the courts have abdicated authority, there are extensive EO being used.

quote:

“Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors” as cause for impeachment with “serious criminal acts, or for serious abuse of the public trust.

This will be defined by whomever has power. Hard pass. A "serious criminal act" could be defined as dead-naming a tranny.

We have extremely simple amendments that are interpreted wildly differently. "Congress shall not" just means the Department of Justice, authorized by Congress, shall violate our rights through administrative process.

In order to do this I would like to see a Constitutional Convention that excludes the present House members and Senate members, perhaps let the state legislatures chose 3 delegates from their respective states. Cannot allow the DC Deep State snakes to run this, They Must Be Shut out.

The 28th Amendment would eliminate the natural-born citizenship requirement for the presidency. If the amendment passed, Henry Kissinger and Arnold Schwarzenegger could run for president.


I thought this one was already moot since Obama never presented a valid BC. The only one ever presented publicly was a fake that was admitted in a federal trial by his lawyers in NJ regarding some ballot issue in his re-election campaign.

Why? I would be fine with term limits for Congress, but I wouldn’t turn down term limits for SCOTUS just because I can’t get it for Congress. Get rid of really old justices.

frick no.

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

quote:

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.

quote:

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.
