The Constitution is fine. They have chipped away at it over time and we need to get back to the original structure. Death by a thousand cuts. No one stayed in their lane. Congress is the ONLY branch that is supposed to "make law." Some one decided if the used the word "regulation" they could punt the lawmaking obligation off to the executive branch unelected bureaucrats, and then say things like "We have to pass it (the law) to find out what's in it (the regulations). Unconstitutional. All of the "administrative agencies" - HHS, IRS, EPA - pretty much any acronym agency, is an unconstitutional exercise of power by unaccountable unelected bureaucrats. We are all in violation of some regulation somewhere. So all you have to do is piss off the wrong person and they will find the violation. That's how we became a country of men and not laws.

The 17th Amendment needs to be repealed. The House is supposed to be elected, the Senate is supposed to be appointed by the state legislators. A check and balance against mob rule.

We have courts essentially drafting legislation and declaring public policy, the Executive Branch drafting legislation and issuing edicts, and the legislature issuing subpoenas and holding "hearings" that are nothing more than political theatre. In more recent years we have the legislature attempting to tell the Commander in Chief when he can declare war.

This perfect machine of a republic has just been exposed to too many years of human nature. The founders knew that time would erode the original structure. To me, it's like a beautiful car being exposed to the elements and rusting over time. In this case the element is human nature. Time to pull it apart and rebuild it.
