If Freepers ran the Constitution.

Some guy made a thread about adding term limits to the Constitution. In addition to debate about that, Freepers proposed Amendments of their own:

Mr Ramsbotham has an unexpected idea:

How about this: any legislator who proposes legislation that fails to pass, permanently loses his seat.

I'm not sure what problem this would solve.

HuntsvilleTxVeteran is super informed about the Constitution.

I would rather have the Bricker Amendment.

It would not allow any treaty to override our Constitution.

As Treaties now are above our Constitution.

In real life, the Bricker Amendment is more about isolationism than saying what the Supremacy Clause already says.

fr_freak would get tough with Congresspeople. Real tough:

I think any member of Congress convicted of a corruption-related felony (bribery, graft, etc.) should receive the death penalty. I'm not kidding. Someone who murders one person is eligible for the death penalty, so why not someone whose actions could result in the death of a nation?

Yeah, that wouldn't lead to abuse.

EGPWS is a total populist, if you define populist as "up with landed gentry!"

I have a better idea....No person can vote in any election unless they have paid income taxes for the past 2 years....

And owns property.

That sounds totally American! Frikken poor, if they had any will they wouldn't be the proles they are!

aruanan just makes it explicit:

The scope of the Federal Government shall be reset to what it was in 1795. Changes thereafter will be made in the Constitutionally prescribed manner.

Yeah! Down with progress!
