Trump demands termination of the Constitution

[Dutch Uncle]

What amendment(s) would you support if possible?

Term limits for Congress; 3 terms for Senators, make Reps four year terms and limit them to four terms.

I'd also like to see election and immigration reforms.

I'd like to see election season reduced, two months would be nice. I'd like to see more oversight on out-of-state money funding local and state elections and legislation.

For immigration, easier access to work visas, more oversight of visas and jail terms for employers, renters and others who support illegal immigrants.

Other than term limits, I think those other issues should be statutory rather than constitutional since they would need to be periodically modified.

Without checking the numbers, I think your term limits are longer than current average length of time most members serve.

Judging by the results, there's a lot of geezers in Congress. While it's true Trump ran off the Old Guard on the Republican side, I'd like to see the current stats per party.

A shorter election season is not going to happen. It is the TV and radio industries that profit from elections. It is also papers. They get lots of candidate ads that line their pockets. TV has lots of people tuned into political discussions. Money doesn't talk,it swears.

Not without bipartisan support and, as you point out, there's too much money to be made being partisan.

We have term limits. If you do not like your congressman, vote them out. Problem solved. You want a law to stop you from voting for your preferred congressman. Why?

why isn't the left concerned with the fact they tossed out the constitution when they violated the election laws established by state legislators?.....
