Using schemes we don't yet know, Republicans win in November, and control enough states to pass constitutional amendments. They set straight to the 'Make the Constitution Great Again' project. Here's how they change it.
Article I: We don't need a damn Congress. All they do is be corrupt and interfere with the president. It causes the president not to be able to do what he wants, creates gridlock, creates mixed messages, creates criticism of anything the president does. What good did Congress do in the 'impeachment of trump'? Lots of talk and nothing. Congress is part of the swamp. Eliminate it.
And we need to make clear the courts works for the president. We need courts, but we don't need them being unelected little dictators who can override the president and legislating from the bench.
Unitary executive, that's what we put in.
Article II: Update it to remove Congress' 'advise and consent' since there is no Congress. Remove the 'execute the laws faithfully' - the president makes the laws, he's going to execute them faithfully and already doesn't when he wants anyway. President can use the military in and out of the country as he sees fit.
Article III: As stated, make it clear the courts are under the president.
Article IV: States. Clearly under the federal government. Whatever, leave it.
Article V: Amendments. Just about right. We got these passed.
Article VI: Says all officials take an oath to support the constitution. Make that to oaths to support the president. It says there shall be no religious test for positions. Get rid of that.
Amendment I: Freedom of Speech? Freedom of the Press? No religion? Those have gone too far. Fake News is the enemy of the people. Remove any protections for them, the president will ensure the country is informed without all the lies from the media. We need RESPONSIBILITY of speech. Attack the president? That's an attack on the country, and actions have consequences. Tell the truth, the US has an official religion.
Right to assemble? Right to riot. Get rid of it. Right to 'petition the government'? Sure. Whatever send them in.
Amendment II: Best amendment. Remove the "organized militia" crap. Right to bear arms period.
Amendment IV: So the government can't search for terrorists, and criminals get away with crimes because their lawyers say searches were illegal? Get rid of it.
Amendment V: No double jeopardy? No self-incrimination? So a guy gets off, and then publicly confesses he did it, new evidence is found, and the government can't charge them again? Get rid of it. Criminals can't be ordered to tell the truth? Get rid of it. If they won't answer questions put them in jail.
Amendment VI: The 'rights for criminals' amendment. Gone.
Amendment VIII: 'Cruel and unusual' punishment is just what we need to reduce crime. No high bail? get rid of that.
Amendment IX and X: Rights for the people and the states over the federal government? Anarchy. Gone.
There you have it, the fixed constitution. Not the liberal crap. Don't like it? Go to another country. We still allow LEAVING.
