I'm halfway through Jill Lepore's latest book, "We the People." It's a history of the US Constitution and it's excellent. It also makes me want to revise, replace, and amend our Constitution (the way the authors fully intended).
My top 3 changes:
1. Direct election of President (eliminate Electoral College).
2. Representative apportionment for Senate (number of senators proportional to state population).
3. Eliminate Judicial Review (don't let the Supreme Court "reinterpret" the Constitution).
4. Direct election of Supreme Court Justices for 10-year term (no political appointments).
5. Change Art. V so that Constitution can be amended by majority vote of House and Senate.

Back in the day I built a lot of software, then I designed a lot of software, then I designed a lot of software design tools. Now I'm retired on a ranch in Petaluma California and I build stuff in my workshop, mostly out of atoms instead of bits.
