The Constitution needs an overhaul.

It is biased GOP because it is not based on the important principle of one man/one vote, which is why the President wins without the popular vote, the Senate leans GOP, and SCOTUS is packed with ideologues.

The President is more power than the king we overthrew. Trump showed that it could become a dictatorship. The office is too powerful, and should be made into a ceremonial office like EU royalty was.

Because SCOTUS opened government to a flood of corporate money, people have lost the ability to control government. The US is not much of a democracy.

The Senate can block any constructive legislation, and has rendered government dysfunctional.

We would do well to take a close look at Nordic government, which functions much better than ours, because it has working social programs, not corporate rip-offs.

States rights are an incentive for the race to the bottom, since States compete for lowest taxes, lowest wages, fewer unions, corporate incentives, worst election procedures, and most authoritarian government.

Republicans are fascists and could not make a constructive contribution to any revision. They do not deal in good faith, cannot be trusted, and reflect the worst motivations of humanity.
