Quote by: GHook93 What should be changed and added: The 14th Amendment: We need to change it to rid ourselves of the birth right clause. Its intent was to protect the children of the newly free slaves, which is not needed anymore. It's now getting distorted to protect the rights of children of illegal immigrants. Get rid of it now.

No, we need to keep the birthright clause but change it. I would change it to "born of American citizens in the United States or its territories, embassies or military bases."

The 16th Amendment: Get rid of it now and replace it with the fair tax. Make max amount for federal government at 22%, 5% and 1% for local government. Make provisions for some exceptions (reductions or eliminates) for education. medical and real estate.

I disagree. While I support repealing the 16th Amendment, why must the fair tax be set at 22 percent? Why must the amendment address taxes in state and local governments?

Create the 28th Amendment: For a national primary Day. All primaries will be held on __________ day of before each election. Preferably September , just a few months before the general. Also put in place that every general debate must provide for at least 1 3rd party candidate.

I disagree. Eliminate primaries entirely and require political parties to choose their candidates privately within the party (e.g. by having all party members submit their votes to the local party headquarters). All national debates (which would occur only after all the parties have chosen their candidates, if any) would include the candidates of all national parties and the moderators would be required to treat each candidate equally.

Create the 29th Amendment: Balanced Budget Duty - The Congress and President must do their best to balance the budget of the US to reduce any deficits

Do their best???? What a crock! No, you have to put their feet to the fire. The amendment should mandate a balanced budget (real balance and not accounting gimmicks; as long as there is national debt, the budget is not balanced).

Create the 30th Amendment: The Accountability Amendment - Candidates whether in the House, Senate, Governorship or President, may be held accountable for promises and pledges they make during their Presidency. Breaking those promises can be grounds for impeachment.

I strongly object to the way you're trying to impose restrictions on the states!

Create the 31st Amendment: Answer abortion! Personally want an answer on this in the constitution, so this won't be a issue every election. Such as, each state has the absolute right to create and govern its abortion laws. They may outright outlaw it and outright decriminatize it. All other states must respect their sister states decisions. I am sure the conservative states will outlaw it and the liberal states will legalize it. Then we will have a balance.

No. The federal government has no business involving itself in medical procedures. It should be left to the states.

Create the 32nd Amendment on Gay Marriage. Each state has the right to choose on whether to allow gay marriages. If a gay couple legally marries in a state that allows gay marriage, then no other state can consider it a defective marriage.

No. I want the government out of the marriage business entirely. Besides, have you forgotten about the full faith and credit clause of the Constitution?

Article IV
Section 1. Full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state. And the Congress may by general laws prescribe the manner in which such acts, records, and proceedings shall be proved, and the effect thereof.


Section 2. The citizens of each state shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states.
