Need a few changes...
1. “Qualified Elector” should be any US Citizen, over the age of 18 who is NOT on the public dole at any level, with the exception of Social Security and Medicaire.
2. Term Limits on ALL elected Federal offices; three terms for Representatives and ONE term for Senators. No cushy benefits, no imperial congress, no retirement plan.
3. Line Item veto for the POTUS
4. Rule Change in the Congress to restrict each bill to a SINGLE issue; no more piling on amendments with no bearing just to get support. Each bill should stand on its own merits.
5. ALL bills that involve the expenditure of funds should require 60% votes in both the House and Senate.
6. Election of Senators should be returned to the various State Legislatures. Reps should be the voice of the PEOPLE, and Senators should be the voice of the STATE, just as was originally planned.
Excellent suggestions...perhaps they should be printed up as fliers for distribution at all these tax rallies currently gaining popularity across the nation.
Why the exception for Soshcurity and Medicare? Getting the beneficiaries of those two Ponzi schemes off the voters’ rolls would be of enormous benefit to society.
Electors should be: a male, married to and living with the woman who is the mother of all his children.
Let me tweak that to add that the pay of members of Congress should either be abolished OR tied directly to the growth of the economy, as they do in Singapore I believe.
Also, a balanced budget amendment whereby all expenditures cannot exceed tax revenue. In order to borrow money by issuing bonds (or any other means of borrowing money) a two-thirds majority vote is required in both houses. In this way, deficit spending ought to be limited only to those emergency situations where most people can agree it is needed.
