What
do people really mean when they say that the US Constitution should be amended
for some reason? The purpose of this forthcoming program is to have an
interesting discussion about a few specific proposals.
Here
are a few examples of the types of proposed amendments which we may discuss:
“Citizens
who pay more in Federal taxes than they receive in Federal assistance will be
allowed to vote in Federal elections.”
"Members
of the House of Representatives are limited to a maximum of three terms and
members of the Senate are limited to a maximum of two terms. No person to serve
more than fourteen years total as a member of Congress."
"Recognizing
that after more than 200 years, the USA is an established country, the Federal
government may, through its legislative process, set minimum nationwide
standards for education, worker safety, health care and pollution control. The
Federal government may - but, is not required to - assist individual states in
meeting such standards."
"Districts
represented by members of Congress, or by members of any state legislative
body, shall be compact and composed of contiguous territory. The state shall
have the burden of justifying any departures from this requirement by reference
to some neutral criteria."
Please
contact Dr. Sam Seawell at
bunnysam@bestselfusa.com if
you would like to see the guidelines for proposing an amendment. The dead line
for any submissions is Monday, the 18th of August 2014.
