(22,994 posts)13. I think that needs to be the first of several ammendments.
I don't have specific ideas on how to fix impeachment and removal through the 25th amendment, but those need fixing with one.
We need another to put better requirements for presidents, and perhaps, all elected federal offices, from financial transparency to competency tests.
Follow that up with one judicial term limits.
I am sure we could come up with more; yours should be first.
