    Also the US Constitution wasn’t even the first US government. It itself is a redo.

      Don’t tell her that the Continental Congress also had presidents. It will blow her mind.

        Generous of you to assume she’s ignorant and not a liar.

          This is the party that also put Tommy Tuberville into the senate. I think it’s not the worst assumption.

          Edit: Now I really think it’s a safe assumption.

            Her degree is a BS in housewifing from the 242nd ranking “university” on a tractor driving scholarship?!

            Ffs! Even her education is an insult to intelligence itself!

    We do need a rewrite at this point.

    The US as a structure has overgrown the limitations the constitution has as a governing system.

    Not even in the sense that the US is approaching being a fully representative democracy while the constitution was designed as an oligarchic republic of household owning family heads.

    Just the sense that the system of governance itself is not one that can handle 50 states with territories and DCs in change.

    There needs to be a dramatic expansion just in the electoral infrastructure and system of this country for the house and Senate to even stand a chance of performing the roles they’re supposedly intended to, and that’s before we get into how they themselves need to be radically redesigned.

    The office of the presidency itself needs to be eliminated and folded into the powers of the House and Senate, the supreme court needs to be replaced with a sortitioned case by case bench selection to end the efficacy of jurisdiction shopping, and the process to pass amendments needs to be SIGNIFICANTLY altered to smooth the process and provide checks and balances between the people, the states, and the feds.

    Well ok, the constitution wasn’t rewritten in a literal sense. But it can and has be/been amended many times. So in its way, it is being rewritten using inheritance (it’s a programming paradigm).
