If you could add a amendment to our constitution what would it be?

Question

My amendment would be to get the money out of politics, I believe we need a arms length relationship between our government and the money, to protect the people, let money work freely in the free enterprise system just not to influence the government.

Answer 1

mine would be similar to yours. i would make an amendment that limited all candidates to a reasonable amount of money to spend on their campaigns. the amount would be different for different levels of gov't but it would still give an equal chance for any citizen to make a legitimate run at public office. there would still be primaries to narrow down the serious candidates.
along with this i would stop party spending on individual campaigns. right now one can only donate x amount of dollars to a particular candidate. but a nearly unlimited amount can go to the party of that candidate.
basically i'd like to see the cessation of rich people buying their way into office and then being political slaves of the individuals and businesses them put them there.

Answer 2

Amendment:

1. All laws passed by the federal government in pursuance of enumerated powers listed in this constitution, including without limitation any laws considered necessary and proper to achieving those enumerated goals, shall require an important government interest, which must be set forth in the text of any such legislation, and such legislation must be narrowly tailored to achieve that important interest.

2. Congress may pass other legislation, beyond the scope of the enumerated powers listed in this constitution, provided that any such un-enumerated legislation serves an compelling government interest, which much be set forth in the text of the legislation, and is narrowly tailored to that compelling government interest, and uses the least restrictive means available to achieve that interest.

3. State governments may pass legislation and/or or executive orders, in accordance with existing laws, that are rationally related to serving a legitimate state interest, but must set forth the state interest so asserted in the text any of such legislation or executive order.

4. This amendment, and the requirements thereof, apply to all restrictions on personal freedoms imposed by the judicial branch, as well as all actions and orders of the executive branch, state or federal.

5. All legislation and/or executive orders currently enacted that satisfies these requirements may remain in effect, provided that where the legislation or order does not set forth the interest assert it must be amended to do so within 5 years of this amendment being ratified.

6. All legislation and/or executive orders currently enacted that do not satisfy these requirements shall become null and void 7 years after this amendment becomes ratified.

Answer 3

Create a nine member committee to oversee foreign policy. Positions would be appointed by congress for life, to remove influence of politics in foreign policy and promote consistency. The members would recieve Embassy data and evaluate the social and political climate of nations and work with the President and cabinet members in the draft and changes in foreign policy, with all changes or draft requiring 2/3rd approval of the committee and presidential, approval.

Answer 4

I wouldn't allow the self-serving, bribe accepting, special interest pandering, pocket lining politicians to f**k with it at all! Maybe that needs to be an amendment, as well as forcing them to observe the ORIGINAL one that was written.

Answer 5

I think we need an amendemt or law that makes single parenting illegal and the family prohibition of adult daughters from getting married/remarried a felony. Also one that makes family control of an adult's life, a crime, if it's not already. Heck, for that matter, we need an amendment or law, that requires people who discredit another person's education and who are delusional or who think they're the exception to the laws or even to the constitution, be banned from the USA.

Answer 6

This amendment will hereby restore the constitution back to it's original state...as written by our inspired forefathers...lol
