Congress shall make now laws, period turn the page. The president shall not have the authority to violate the Constitution. The president is forbidden to work his personal agendas using the power of high office and or the taxpayers money.

I would suggest a copy of The Ayn Rand Lexicon edited by Harry Binswanger. In it under "government you'll find everything you'll need. She makes it very clear as to the function of government and illustrates it to a "T." Mr. Binswanger, as I understand it, gleaned the material from all of Rand's writing.

The Constitution is an excellent document, but it was written in a world of towns of 250 people, where everyone knew each other and had a similar culture. Travel and communication were at the speed of a horse. This incredible document has done well in application to the modern world, but its weakest points are where a country of power and money and technology pushes the envelope of its design.
I think that the single most important amendment I would make to it would be to require good accounting practices of all government and public departments. There should also be some provision for transparency. Money is the backbone of positive incentive and of negative corruption and striking at that point would, I think, do the most good.
I have read (though I cannot now find the source) that there are about 30,000 laws and regulations that apply to each individual in the US. This boggles the imagination and makes humorous the adage 'ignorance of the law is no excuse'. Whatever laws we have must be manageable by an individual - and there is no concept in the Constitution of the law itself getting so far out of control. There needs to be some way of addressing this too.

One thing I would have in it would be a provision that if some politician pushes some law, and makes promises or statements about the effect it will have on the people (such as "if you like your current health plan you can keep it" or "this will reduce your health costs by $2500 per year"), and it passes, and then those effects do not happen as promised, then that law is declared null and void, and the politician(s) who pushed it are immediately removed from office and disqualified from ever holding any other public offices, and do not receive any pensions or other benefits from it.

Keep it simple:
"No coercion."

Period.

While I agree with many of the aforementioned comments, the one that needs to be dealt with most is related to Robbie53024's comment regarding "an earned right" vs. "an inherent right". Specifically, those who are net takers should have no vote, and the value of one's vote ought to be in proportion to the amount one pays in taxes. This is similar to what the Constituion said prior to being amended, when one could only vote if one owned property. This is not a racist or sexist comment in any way.

About a year ago someone posted a request for amendments to the Constitution. I'd like to see if we could collaborate by posting the original, then have Gulchers add amendments and changes in bold and italics to be voted on by other members. When completed we could present it to the world. We would need some rules to begin (Producers only?) as to who could vote on the changes but it might be a worthwhile exercise to leave behind a permanent document for posterity of our time in the Gulch.
