For the most part, I agree with Mark Levin that the Liberty Amendments would correct most of the issues that we have with Congress and our federal governement. Here are the list of amendments I propose based on Mark’s book:
- Term Limits for Members of Congress
•Limits members of the House of Representatives to 12 years and Senators to 12 years.
- Term Limits for Supreme Court Justices and Power for Congress to Override Decisions
•Limits Supreme Court justices to 12-year terms and allows Congress to override Supreme Court decisions with a supermajority.
- Constitutional amendment that limits Federal Spending
•Caps federal spending at 17.5% of the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), with exceptions allowed only in times of war or by a supermajority vote.
•Requires Congress to pass a balanced budget each year, limiting the government’s ability to borrow money.
- Limitations on Federal Taxing Power
•Repeal the Sixteenth Amendment, which established the federal income tax and institute tariffs to fund the government.
- Congressional Authorization for Federal Regulations
•Requires that major federal regulations created by bureaucratic agencies must be approved by Congress before taking effect.
- Restoring the Power of the States to Amend the Constitution
•Allows state legislatures to amend the Constitution with a two-thirds vote, bypassing the need for congressional approval.
- Protecting Private Property Rights
•Strengthens the Fifth Amendment’s protections against eminent domain abuse by the government.
- Requiring Voter ID
•Mandates voter ID requirements for federal elections to ensure election integrity and prevent fraud.
