University of Virginia Professor and frequent political commentator Larry Sabato proposes Making A More Perfect Constitution and suggests a second constitutional convention to do so.
The link is to the first of what he promises are several essays.
Over the next several weeks, I’ll be posting diaries outlining some of my proposals for Constitutional reform (which number 23 in all, though only a sampling will appear here). This week I hope to provide readers with some general ideas to get the creative discourse started; as the weeks progress, I’ll be going into greater depth on some proposals.
If you’ve passed the citizenship sample test (see previous post), you are encouraged to see what Sabato has to say.
What change would you propose?
NewMexiKen would limit the president to one six-year term. Representatives would get four-year terms, but no one could serve in the House or the Senate more than 12 consecutive years.
