IMO, there should be NO modernizing of our Constitution. It should be left alone, the way it was intended by our Founding Fathers.

What we need is to change our government, to those that will uphold the Constitution, as it was written.

And TERM LIMITS. I believe if Term Limits are set in place for EVERY politician, at local and federal levels, then they won’t be in place long enough, to obtain enough power to change or twist the Constitution to their agenda.

Make the representatives be truly that, representatives. Take away their benefits, the life time pay/pensions, and any other subsidies they get for serving their country. It should NOT be a career. And it definitely should NOT be something they WANT to stay in. I liked the idea someone else came up with on another thread, where they should get paid, based on how well they represent their constituents. If they don’t represent, or prove they are there for themselves, they don’t get paid and vice versa.

Just sayin’

This would also put an end to their life long political and economical connections, i.e., Soros. He wouldn't be able to buy or black mail a politician for life.

I think the overwhelming majority of Americans, both left and right, could agree to this one. Only the corrupt wouldn't support it.
