It seems to me that there are a few new amendments to the Constitution we need to pass a.s.a.p. Here's the first one:
Single 6-year terms for the President and Vice President (the single best idea from the Constitution of the old Confederacy). As it is now, presidents spend their 1st year learning the job, and the last 2 years of the 1st term scheming to get reelected. The result? Only one year focused on the job they're supposed to be doing.
If presidents weren't so intent on playing "King of the World" for eight years instead of just four, we might get some useful work out of them. (Of course, we might also get more mischief out of them, so maybe we also need an amendment for a national "No Confidence" vote halfway through the term. If the president-of-the-moment fails, then he/she could be removed from office before doing any more damage.)
