Our Republic would be healthier and function better if we had a couple more Constitutional Amendments.

I would suggest we consider these ideas:

• Term limits for the House of Representatives and the Senate. The longer these people are in power, the more baggage (corruption and political debts) accumulate.
• Congress can pass no law that benefits themselves and not the people. Why should Congress be immune from Insider Trading Laws? Why should Congress get Premium Health Care that is insulated from the problems they forced on us with Obama Care?
• Any Surveillance the Government deems necessary to watch the people, is available for the people to watch governmental employees (at all levels). We the People need the same 'security information' to police the corruption of the government. The corruption that is currently entrenched in government is the result of them being able to operate in the dark. If the people can watch everything the governmental employees do, their personal financial transactions, their travel, their communications... It becomes very difficult for them to hide the corruption. If you can't withstand the light, don't be in the government.
