There are a few constitutional reforms we need

One is a maximum age for candidates, congress local office, don’t matter. We really should not have people in their eighties running for office, period. No, I did not think this way until my mom got cancer, and she went from a fully independent woman to not at all within a year.

We are seeing this now with both Feinstein and McConnell. The latter may have suffered a transient ischemic attack on national tv. I hope, don’t expect it, that he visited an ER within hours.

People like them used to be rare. The average age has gone up, to the realm of are you kidding me?

We need term limits in Congress. Too short staffers own the place, but an average civil service career should be ok. That’s 20 years, given terms in the senate, 24 across the board should be fine. It would prevent literally people serving crazy. And yes, 12 is getting tested in CA right now. I still think this gives lobbyists too much power.

People retiring or voted out should be prohibited from lobbying at least for a decade. That rolling door is ridiculous.

All presidential candidates should have to deliver a conflict of interest documentation…there are laws that allow members of the cabinet that allow them to sell investments. Well, this should apply across the federal government.

I know I am going to sound crazy, but exact same rules that apply to the civil service must apply to electeds.

Oh and SCOTUS has its own huge issues at the moment.

None of this is going to be too popular in DC.

For the moment, it literally is Joe Biden (and I have my issues) or a fascist. So it’s where we are. But in time…these are the across the board reforms we need. We all should talk about it. Oh and reform the electoral system to get a real multiparty democracy.
