Morning Constitutional

Today I want to talk about two Constitutional amendments I've been mulling over. The reason I say they should be Constitutional amendments and not laws is because it's too easy for the government to make loopholes in or not pass at all laws which restrict them. I am not a lawyer, so these are not worded as they would have to be to become amendments, but it's the idea that matters here. Too many politicians lie their way into office and stay there by lying about what they have done, and something needs to be done if we are to survive as a nation.


Amendment 28

Any Person running for public office or holding public office must be under oath of law at such time that they are proclaiming their goals, discussing the political record of themselves or their opponent.

-Basically I'm trying to say that anyone running for or in public office should be under oath and able to charged with perjury if they lie about their intentions, past record or their opponent. It would have to be worded as to allow for matters of national security and personal privacy, but the gist is if they lied they could be charged with a crime.

Amendment 29

No amendments to or clauses in a bill shall be unrelated to the intended outcome of the bill.

-Basically, I want an amendment that bans pork in bills. It is so stupid to have things shoved into bills that have nothing to do with them. And then the voting record is skewed, because a representative may vote against a bill because it has too much pork and then get lambasted for voting against the bill itself which may have originally been a good bill.
