Subject: RE: BS: Constitutional ammendments we could use
The president shall have no veto over legislation that is legally passed by both houses of Congress.
The president shall have no authority to take the country to war without a formal declaration of war that is first passed in both houses of Congress.
All military actions taken by the United States against other sovereign nations, whether those military actions are in the form of land, sea, or aerial assault or assault by paramilitary forces financed through the United States government or through its affiliates or its governmental agencies, including the CIA, and whether or not those paramilitary forces are in uniform of the USA or not....all such military actions shall be regarded legally as full acts of war....and if so, they shall be deemed wholly illegal and unconstitutional unless they have received prior authorization by a formal declaration of war passed by both houses of Congress.
The launching of any such military actions without said formal declaration of war being passed first by Congress shall result in immediate impeachment proceedings against the officials directly responsible for commanding and initiating those actions...up to and including the president.
All citizens who are in need of medical assistance shall receive it without delay, and at no charge, and on a completely equal basis, said medical assistance to be provided through a universal government-financed health care system that will compensate medical staff and medical professionals for the work they do at a fair rate, again, on a completely equal basis.
