What amendments would you want to see added to the constitution?

Me, I would i like to repeal the 16th, 17th, and 10th. These are all very dangerous amendments. Additions would include a balanced budget amendment, a term limit amendment for congressional members, and an amendment banning the possibility of conscription in the future.

The balanced budget amendment would require the next FY budget to be balanced or in surplus, and would limit growth in year to year budgets to that of GDP. Emergency spending would have to be requested by the president, via the speaker of the house, and voted on by the House first, followed with ratifification by the states (the new Senate after the repeal of the 17th amendment), and then signed by the president. House and Senate rules would require super majorities by both houses to pass the legislation.

The term limit amendment would create a 12/12/12 year term limit for the houses, and the presidency.

The conscription amendment would ban future possibilities of conscription, and insure that those who don't want to serve in the military, would not have to serve.
