    Default Ultimate power

    if you had the ultimate power to add one amendment to the COTUS what would it be?

    Your amendment can not alter any other nor can it eliminate a previous amendment.

    I personlly would add a balanced budget amendment.


    Or I'd outlaw Congress. It's a close call.


    Balanced Budget for the win.

    Line item veto, though won't help for at least 4 years - 3 days.

    I would ruin every Politician's life by creating an amendment that states. "All public statements made by elected officials of the United States of America, and their individual states, MUST BE HONEST, and present only the TRUTH".

    At the present time. The U.S. Supreme Court has decided that LYING is part of the 1st amendment, and is permissible. But I would change that to read PUBLIC OFFICIALS are not Permitted to Willfully, Intentionally Lie to the American people.
    I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.
    So, this is for them.

    All laws and regulations must expire in five years and must be re-enacted to remain in force.

    Can solve all of our legislative problems with an amendment that a bill can only address one issue...no more riders, no more hidden pork.
