What amendment would you add to the bill of rights?

[Varanus]

If you're talking about the constitution, I'd like some protections against conflicts of interest. I think members of congress should not be permitted to vote on issues where their decision is heavily influenced by corporate donors. If you're deep in the pockets of big oil, you don't get to vote on a new drilling platform. Also, and this would be difficult to do without loopholes, but add basic competence tests before a politician can vote on an issue. I don't like the idea of somebody who can barely figure out a computer creating internet policy. Or someone who knows nothing about the medical industry voting on healthcare reform.

I'd like to see:

Popular vote for president, but with Instant-Runoff Voting, so that there can be many candidates, but the one that's chosen is acceptable to the majority. That should avoid any extreme candidates becoming president, and allow people to indicate the will of the people in a more nuanced way than just R or D.

Limit the presidential pardon power by requiring a simple majority senate vote. There have been too many pardons of people willing to break the law for the president (going back at least to HW Bush), which is obstruction of justice.

Something to get money out of politics again. https://wolf-pac.com

A mechanism for limiting the rights within. In Canada they have "reasonable limitations clause" that outlines a procedure and set of circumstances that can be worked with in the judicial process to limit certain rights and freedoms. We know that it is ridiculous to have unlimited freedom, even of the kinds enumerated in the Bill of rights, so why not add a "reasonable limits" clause of your own? The benefit is that it would make court decisions that limit freedoms more logically consistent and therefore, more legitimate in the eyes of the public.

Honestly, I think you Americans need to make new amendments. Because seriously, v how often does say the 3rd come into play. And the 2nd is actually 'you may bear arms to rise up against an oppressive government' I think you all need to revisit and re amend.

A congressional check against presidential executive orders. The US was never the intention to allow a president to dictate by fiat, the government was designed to prevent overreach and abuse of power. Executive orders is a bypass of this check and ballance system and has been used and abused by both parties.

[humanearth]

Term limits for all elected offices
That there must be more then two parties at all debates
No more property tax and the government can't take your home away from you
All men over 18 must own a gun of some sort

You get the idea. More freedoms and less government basically

[pajamasam]

Legal drinking age, 18.

Its absurd that at 18 one can file for a loan and destroy their finances, vote for a bad candidate and destroy the country, go to war and die for their country, but they can't legally buy a beer until 21. Its just ridiculous. Plenty of other countries in the world have lower legal drinking ages, why not the USA?

I would allow people to assign temporary supreme court judges that only operate for 1 year - they will be used to fire unwanted appointees by voting them out

[Daniela1982]

We are having problems even keeping the rights we have and you want to clutter it up even more by trying to get new rights when we can't keep the old?

[Liam_Hayden]

The right of the people to do what they choose, so long as they are not assaulting the person or property of another, shall not be infringed by Congress or the states or any other governmental agency or division.

[normalice]

If you are scammed you have the right to participate in the murder of your scammer humanely.

[jeremy_09]

the 14th Amendment pretty much covers anything the others don't (even though it's not in the Bill of Rights itself)

[John_Galt]

Term limits for everything... judges, representatives, senators, governor's, presidents, EVERYTHING!!!

[BCA6010]

Term limits for elected officials in the form of an "up or out" policy, as well as a limited time in service for appointed officials.

[Agape93]

That abortion and birth control is to be no more than $20 total, and is to be available to all women upon request.

[Snakeyes7]

Term limits for everyone in a position in any of the three branches. It helps them be aware that they are creating a world that they would have to live in eventually and might help them make smarter choices.

[joeldalton]

You mean the constitution? The bill of rights is only the first 10 amendments. I would amend the constitution to put term limits on Congress.

[andreasderjuengere]

Nothing, actually.
But I might like to also see a ''bill of responsibilities''

[Bananaman177]

Which Amendment is it that gives women the vote?

Cancel that one.

[Exterminatore]

Drinking age same as eligible draft age. If you’re old enough to fight, kill or die for your country, you’re old enough to have a beer.

[OddBeMe]

Congressmen must place all stocks in blind trust. Always surprised at the level of insider trading from elected officials.

[Iron_Man]

An inheritance law tax making Your property taxes shouldn’t be doubled wants the deed changes hands from your parents to the children

[codyccc]

I would just remove the religous tax exemption part

[ManHater]

That all black people can commit crimes without being arrested.
