Limit the age for candidates, to the pension maximum

Three the most important things are missing:

  • abolish home education;
  • mandatory elementary education;
  • get rid of multiple-choice tests.

Most of the changes won't matter if people are uneducated or easily misled.

I would add:

Equal Rights Amendment

Reverse Shelby County v Holder

Reverse District of Columbia v Heller

Add ethics code for Supreme Court with enforcement authority

Discharge federal student loan debt and regulate higher education costs

Demilitarize police

Ban property tax based school funding

Abolish the death penalty

Federally mandated paid vacation, paid sick leave, overtime over 40 hours, and a ban of right-to-work laws.

Allow the Army Corps of Engineers to repair and maintain infrastructure.

I’d personally abolish the senate and leave the house alone, or change the house to one rep per every x number of people instead of whatever we do now.

I like a lot of your proposals,but I don’t think they will fix everything. Certainly an improvement though.

I don’t think the supreme court changes would fix issues with the court, and I think a 15 yr. limit could make it worse.

Each presidential term would get 2-3 nominations per term, allowing them to establish a majority if elected for 2 terms. Considering how powerful the court is, allowing a president to establish a majority simply by being in office for 2 terms isn’t great.
