If you could make one change to the US Constitution, what would it be?

Politicians could be fired for performance issues before end of terms.

Please read the first few articles of the US Constitution, or look at a junior high school level civics book.  The system of checks and balances is in place and the press has taken on the duty of watchdog.  Take a look at any of the news networks or on the web.  The constitution is too important to amend it too often!

I would change the federal income tax system to a federal sales tax. This would eliminate the huge tax burden from the upper and middle classes and make honest tax payers out of every consumer in the country.

If I were the President of the United States of America, I would seek to end Abortion, and push to change the judges elected to office.  I would push to see alternative energy options are brought to the market.  I would put the country back on the Gold standard and revoke the charter for the Federal Reserve.  I would work to help small third world countries get a step up on their economies by partnering with them to help them stablize and grow industry.\nI would eliminate the WTF and get the work force back to work in this country making industry a priority for our countries well being and competitive future.  I would also, stop all this domestic spying on citizens crap.

The US Constitution was written in 1776.  There have been alot of modifications (amendments) since that time but are you referring to just amendments during that five year period?  If you could be a little more specific, I could help you a whole lot more.  Oh yeah, and don't forget  about The Bill Of Rights.  Maybe even just as important.  To keep corruption out of the executive branch (you know--the checks & balance system) that's going to hell as we speak?  or rather write........

Neither.\n\nThe genius of the founding fathers of the United States was not that they knew everything, but that they understood that they could not know everything. With that humble attitude, they included in the Constitution a feature which allows future generations to update the Constitution to fit the changing times.\n\nLook at all the amendments which have been added to the Constitution. Every amendment is a slight change to the Constitution to keep it updated with the times. \n\nThe 18th and 21st amendments are a perfect example. The 18th amendment was the prohibition of alcohol because people at that time thought that alcohol would destroy the country.\n\nWhen the people finally realized that the prohibition of alcohol gave rise to an even greater threat (gangsters like Al Capone), they decided to undo the 18th amendment with the 21st amendment. That's the Constitution changing with the times.

A new constitution for who? What country?

Undo all the damage BushCo has done and pass a single Executive Order negating every one he and the last 2 predecessors had declared....including repealing the Military Commissions Act which would re-institute Habeus Corpus. This would re-establish the US Constitution as THE supreme law of the land instead of what a small group of plutocrats privately decide. \n\nThen abolish the privately owned Federal Reserve bank and return the creation of money back to the people whom it belongs. This would also establish the tax code as it was originally designed to be - leaving a man's wages alone.

A written constitution is not as open to imterpretation by time and circumstance as an unwritten one. A favorite argument from the UK is that the 2nd Amendment of the U.S. is a relic of a time gone by, when in reality it remains the will of the majority of the American people today. When we want a change, we affect that change, like the 13th and 19th Amendments.

I would deregulate the FCC.  Place tight limits on the export of technology, and move for more open information flow.  Also eliminate the Patriot Act and other policies that may infringe on personal rights.

Because he is firm one with self determination who knows what to do for his people one who knows how to protect his people and one who knows how to find eployment opportuinities for his people. If I would be American I would suggest the constitution to be changed so that he can continue to be the prsident for the third time.

There are 27 Amendments, and 26 changes.\n\nWhy? Because the 21st amendment repealed the 18th, so the 18th is no longer a change to the constitution, but it is still an amendment.
