I agree with amendments, but don't cofuse them with a new Constitution. The main reason the president has the power he does is that the members of the original convention knew that George Washington would be the first president, and they trusted him implicitly. That power came back to haunt them, and is still with us today.

On the other hand for all your complaints about the current president, he really doesn't have the kind of power you think he does. He gets a lot of what he wants because Congress is on his side for the most part. The President can suggest and influence all he wants, but he has no power at all to make laws.

Just out of curiosity, exactly what amendments would you propose?

First things first, impeach Obama! Bring Bush up on war crimes and perjury charges.
Toss out every currently sitting senator and congressman just to be sure we get all of them who went along with this insanity called the Patriot Act and start all over.
Repeal the Patriot Act!
Do away with all of these overly expanded, redundant departments and agencies that have been given carte blanche to do as they will like the NSA, DHS etc, etc.
Clean house at the CIA.
Audit the treasury.


I'm not looking for a constitutional rewrite per se. Just add some modern language to it. After all, it was written for the 18th century and the founding fathers couldn't have possibly seen what our government would become in 237 years. A bloated morass of little Napoleons in departments and agencies without end. A nation tangled up in red tape and a government that is competing with its citizens, instead of doing the will of the citizens. They have done too much to create a government run by corporate influence and special interest groups. Running us way beyond broke with war after war after war.
Obama seems to be looking to start world war III and his cronies in congress are going along with it. Do they really think they could win a global thermonuclear conflict while they all hide out under ground in their bunkers?
Armageddon may be closer than you think and we don't get a golden ticket invite to the bunker. Surviving the first strike will still carry a death sentence down the road. Albeit, a long and lingering one.
It would take care of the global warming problem.
Though, from what I've been reading, we may not need to worry about it if we get hit with a kill shot CME from the sun next month.
Talk about rendering all of this crap moot!
