We need a Convention of States to amend the U.S. Constitution. What amendments do you support?

[Natural Citizen]

Repeal the 14th and 19th Amendments.

16th is the one that really needs repealed. The Keynesians are destroying the country.

 

[kyzr]

Don't we have enough problems to address without changing the game plan? Let's deal with the Biden situation before we go trolling for constitutional issues.

How do you propose to deal with "the Biden situation"? I'm all ears. The only cure for Xiden is 2022 and 2024.
We can walk and chew gum. Got any amendments to consider?

 

[the watcher]

The corrupt 3 branches (4 if you count the media) won't honor the Constitution we have now, what makes anyone think they would observe a new one? It would just be used to provide a false feeling that something works, like the vote and the federal reserve.

 

[kyzr]

We all know that stuff. What you do not understand is that Mark Meckler (leader of the Convention of States organization) has no intention of organizing a convention to actually do the work - he just wants to threaten a convention, because then the Congress will make the amendments. That is what has happened in the past. But Meckler cannot get anywhere, because times are different and what he, or you, have to do is organize the convention and compose the amendment system, and then that will convince the state legisltures to appoint the people from their respective states that participated in the private convention, appoint them to an official convention to officially validate the amendments for state ratification.

But the Congress will beat you to the end, anyway. They will find out what amendments a convention composes and validates, and the Congress will just take it and pass it and send it to the states before you can do it all.

The senior members of the Congress and smart lawyers know, that if anyone can actually organize a national convention to compose amendments, then the rules that inspire people to participate and process legislation that impresses the state legislatures is an organization that succeeds the federal legislature.

And the composers of Article V. knew that, just as senior congress members and smart lawyers know.

You mediocre political novices cannot figure that out on your own, and probably send money to Meckler.

The amendments in the OP will never be agreed to by the democrats. That's why I'm suggesting that we need a convention of states.

Repeal the 14th and 19th Amendments.

I agree with the repeal of the 14th amendment, which is the basis for "anchor babies" from Russia and China.
Only US citizens should be able to make a US citizen.

Same as now, the courts would need to enforce the laws as written.
So far no one has said any of the proposed amendments are "unconstitutional". That's good.

So you want a VAT so that no one can afford to buy anything? How do you fund the $4T Budget?

The U.S. Constitution can be amended two ways, either by 2/3 votes in the House and Senate, or by a Convention of States where 3/4 of the States must ratify new amendments for the new amendment to pass. So if in 2022 or 2024 the GOP can get 38 state legislatures they can amend the US Constitution. Not an impossible task.
The US president has no say in either of the amendment processes.

Constitutional Amendment Process | National Archives

www.archives.gov

The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures. None of the 27 amendments to the Constitution have been proposed by constitutional convention. The Congress proposes an amendment in the form of a joint resolution. Since the President does not have a constitutional role in the amendment process, the joint resolution does not go to the White House for signature or approval. The original document is forwarded directly to NARA's Office of the Federal Register (OFR) for processing and publication. The OFR adds legislative history notes to the joint resolution and publishes it in slip law format. The OFR also assembles an information package for the States which includes formal "red-line" copies of the joint resolution, copies of the joint resolution in slip law format, and the statutory procedure for ratification under 1 U.S.C. 106b.

A proposed amendment becomes part of the Constitution as soon as it is ratified by three-fourths of the States (38 of 50 States). When the OFR verifies that it has received the required number of authenticated ratification documents, it drafts a formal proclamation for the Archivist to certify that the amendment is valid and has become part of the Constitution. This certification is published in the Federal Register and U.S. Statutes at Large and serves as official notice to the Congress and to the Nation that the amendment process has been completed.

So what new amendments would you support? I'll start the ball rolling with a few in a poll.

1. True, voting is a right for citizens, no one is denying citizens the right to vote ONCE.
2. True, if the courts agree the 2nd Amendment isn't violated
3. The filibuster keeps laws from wild swings left or right, 60 votes is a necessity for all non-budget legislation
4. No religious test in ever needed, nor any penalty (free speech)
5. Any state has the right to protect the unborn.

6. I support "right to work" states. Unions are just a pain in the ass, which is why so many factories were moved overseas.
7. The USSC said political donations are "free speech". We need complete visibility, no more "dark money"

Politicians get the same exact medical benefits the rest of the country gets.

Not everyone in the country have the same exact medical benefits. Most people's medical benefits are dependent on what they have negotiated with the company that provides those benefits.

 

[fncceo]

Politicians lose the right to plead the 5th when involved in any scandal.

We extend Constitutional Rights even to illegal non-citizens. We can't very well revoke them for our elected officials.

“But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case it is unfit to exist.” Lysander Spooner’s observation is instructive. No amendment will change much of anything.

The fuck?

Anchor babies. You talk about Chinese and Russian anchor babies...what about the 30M squatemalan orcs that hop the border and shit out a roach egg that immediately becomes a new American citizen?

Proportional Representation for the House, changing the Senate to something useful, changing the presidency, either getting rid of it so it's like the German system, or changing it so it's a multi elected body like Congress. Switzerland has a good system with 7 people on the executive and one is chosen to be head of state for a bit. There are plenty of possibilities, like electing heads of departments who deal with their own part and interact with Congress, like foreign affairs, education, etc etc.

 

[Blues Man]

I would like to make people pay their income and FICA taxes quarterly and stop forcing businesses to be unpaid tax collectors.

I would also like to change tax day to the day before election day so people can go to the polls while the big wet bite the government just took out of their asses still hurts.

 

[kyzr]

You missed all the important stuff. Congress needs an enforcement arm, and we need strong penalties for elected officials who lie to the American people.

Not understanding what you are saying. Why an enforcement arm?
Congress passes laws, the executive branch enforces them, except the Xiden admin at the border.
Pols lie, there is no way to stop that. Congress would just enforce fake news or their own lies.
Just look at Nancy's kangaroo court for her 1/6 "insurrection" lie.

 

[Asclepias]

Not everyone in the country have the same exact medical benefits. Most people's medical benefits are dependent on what they have negotiated with the company that provides those benefits.

I should have been more specific. I'm talking about medicare.

 

[Asclepias]

We can't very well revoke them for our elected officials.

Why not? They are not regular citizens because they are entrusted with our tax money due to their position.
