The four years of the Trump administration, but especially the events of January 6, 2021 and the ensuing impeachment by the House and acquittal by the Senate, have caused me to go into problem-solving mode. After giving this a lot of thought, I have concluded that various flaws, oversights, and loopholes created structural flaws which contributed to federal government dysfunction. Sadly many of these flaws can only be fixed by amending the U.S. Constitution. The text of these amendments, as well as supporting rationale, may be found offsite at my political blog, Data Over Dogma, using the following links.

• The Impeachment Reform Amendment: A Proposed 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
• The Pardon Reform Amendment: A Proposed 29th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
• The Judicial Reform Amendment: A Proposed 30th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

Because amending the U.S. Constitution is so difficult (to put it mildly), I have only written the amendments which I believe have any chance at all of bipartisan support. I support other, additional amendments, but have not bothered to document them because I believe they have no realistic chance of ratification anytime soon, if ever.

Please post your comments, if any, on the other blog.
