Article 5 of the Constitution allows the states to convene another constitutional convention. If such a meeting were held, and you were asked to be a delegate, what changes would you propose to the existing constitutional structure?
I would propose term limits on Senators and Congressmen. We have
people who have served in those positions for 30 years. Yes, there is some
benefit to longevity, however, they are out of touch with reality. They worried
about a President becoming like a monarchy, I believe this has happened in some
form with these lifetime senators and congressmen.
I would also propose that all Senators, Congressmen, President and
Vice President, etc. must abide by any law passed by Congress. This means they
would pay the same taxes and have the same healthcare as the people they pass
the laws for.
I would also propose that Congress cannot vote themselves a raise.
Those should be voted on by the people. None of us can vote ourselves a raise.
They are supposed to be working for us. We should determine if they are doing a
job worth getting a raise or not.
