*This is not homework!!*
I have read the constitution many, many times. And I think all that is listed is sufficient. What do you think? Can you think of something that should be added to the constitution?

Add. Congress or a president can not send troops to fight in other country's unless war is declared, or we are attacked by another country, or voted on by the people.
If your sent to prison, you loose your citizenship until your time has been served. Meaning you loose all your rights.

I don't know if it requires a constitutional amendment, but I would like to see real campaign finance reforms, unlike anything in the past.
My campaign reform amendment would be this:
1. Only US Citizens may contribute money, materials, labor or services to candidates, political parties, with the following exception:
Special interest groups that receive 100% of their donations from US Citizens. These donations must be voluntary and not part of any membership dues.
2. All other entities are forbidden from advertising, supporting or lobbying any candidate or political party.
Hopefully the effect of this would be to take every single special interest group, including unions and corporations out of the political process, with the exception of groups like the NRA or Sierra Club, who get 100% financing from voluntary contributions by people.

Repeal the 22nd Amendment which provides for a two-term limit. Let the voters decide. For instance Bill Clinton as young as he is, and as intelligent, and experienced can not run again. What a waste. A president is a useless lame duck after mid-term elections in his second term. So actually 2 years are wasted. John McCain is running at age 72, but Bill Clinton cannot run at the age of 70, sixteen years after completing his second term. Reagan would probably have won a third term, but certainly not a fourth. People are living longer and sooner or later we're going to have to revisit the 22nd Amendment. Who's more qualified to run, a governor, a senator, a congressmen or an ex-president? If you're elected to consecutive terms you must sit out (2) consecutive terms to run again
