Raiding chicken processing plants in Mississippi to arrest the hundreds of illegal immigrants who work there, but letting the managers and owners of the plants (who benefited from their labor) off scot-free makes zero sense as well. But I'm just a cockatoo with a bad attitude, so what do I know?
The only thing in my opinion is term limits for the House of Reps and Senate. I wouldn't say it "needs" to be changed but I believe the original founders did not envision people spending their careers in Congress. After term after term they become so out of touch with the average people that they can't imagine how to represent us.....because they are no longer us.
We have term limits for legislators. They are called "elections." Now, if you have complaints about how the power of incumbency, the excessive role of money, gerrymandering, voter suppression, and other such things adversely affect elections, we would find many area of agreement. But term limits do not fix these problems.
It is also curious that no rational bird person would ask to have neurosurgery performed by someone fresh out of medical school, or have their car repaired by someone who just learned which end of a wrench does what. Yet many express the wish that our politicians be perpetual novices. Deducing why this logical inconsistency occurs is left as an exercise for the reader.

Ms. Thrifty, ask yourself WHY do people treat The Constitution like it is some sacred TOME written in STONE that cannot be changed ever? It is old white men from the 17th Century, for godsakes.
I've enjoyed reading the answers to this question more than any other here on the Mug. It's given me a taste of the level of US citizen's education about their own constitution and the variety of differing opinions. I hope there will be more answers coming.
