How about:
1. Dump the electoral college.
2. End the nonsense of having tiny shit states having the same number of senators as states like California.
3. Requiring Congress to declare war before troops can be committed to foreign locations.
Well if I recall the electoral is an add-on to the system. Totally fucking useless in my opinion.
However the reason small states have the same number of senators as larger ones is to prevent tyranny of the majority, which would be a major issue. The us has most of its population clustered into a couple of states, so if you didn't have equal senators then the whole country would basically be run by new England and California. That fucks the south west, northwest and mid west. It would destroy American Conservatives, which while they have their place, they need a good wrecking right now.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
