modify the 1st amendment to read:

Neither Congress nor any member state shall make any law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

and add an amendment that reads:

Neither Congress, nor any member state shall pass any law that deprives the people, or any class thereof, of equal rights, recognition, and protection under the law

as well as one reading

Neither the president of the united states, nor any official acting from the authority of the executive branch of the federal government shall pass any order, proclamation, or command, other than those powers already delegated to said individual by the body of this document, to act to establish any new legislation or modify the text of any existing law, as it falls wholly to congress to establish or modify such law and to the Legislative branch to review any law which is deemed suspect.

(basically, EOs would not be legally binding, to prevent abuse)


or something to such effect...?

Your first and second proposals are already incorporated by the 14th amendment aren't they?

I don't know if EO's have any legal effect as it is, do they? I'm not knowledgeable in this area.

14th amendment was illegally ratified. the Southern states were recognized, fore the 12 amendment,. They were not recognized AGAIN as states so the 14th/15th could pass, and they were recognized only after being 'readmitted' after the amendment had 'passed'
