You have to keep it specific or people could use loopholes to get away with anything.


Me, I'd really prefer something along the lines of officially separating church from state, or freedom of same-sex marriage.

Mine would be to add term limits to US Senators and Members of the US House of Representatives. Even a good person will become corrupt after spending enough time in politics so its important to keep people flowing in and out of Washington to avoid or at least lessen corruption.

A complete removal of the party system from the White House? I know its vague, but I don't have a law degree, so I'm not qualified to actually write an amendment.

Term limits in the house and senate and proportional representation in the House.

This would be the single handedly most important and logical amendment. Really if politicians arn't pandering to the public to get reelected then they might actually do some good. That and repeal the direct election of senators by the public. (17th amendment IIRC)

THOU... SHALT NOT... A to hell with it *picks up a stone and throws*


Oooh, Ammendment. Not Commandment.

Then I guess it would be the freedom to shoot idiots.

I'd make changes to the Eighth Amendment so that it allowed the use of capital punishment to criminals that truly deserved it, so they're would be no more debate about it, as well as cleaning out the prisons a bit.

Separation of Science and State.

EDIT: I probably worded this badly, it means the Government should NOT interfere with scientific progress ( a la stem cell research).

I'd have the public order act, where ugly stupid people are banned from going outside, the world will be a wonderful safe and most importantly pretty place.

An amendment that forces the U.S. government to actually fucking follow the Constitution. I'm looking at you Patriot Act, and lack of same-sex marriage. (All men are equal? Apparently homosexuals aren't.)

Amendment 28: Hot dog buns must come in packs of ten.
how many packs do they come in now?, 12 isn't it?, and hot dogs come in packs of 10 right?.

You get more buns in the packs because of the aggresive takeover vegitarians did on the bakery company, it was a long stand off with many casualties but the veggies won in the end, thus ensuring an extra two buns in each pack to accommodate the token smug tree hugging hippies we are required by law to invite to our manly meaty BBQ's.

I'd make an amendment that specifically prohibited the use of capital punishment.
