I can think of a few candidates for additional Constitutional Amendments, one being a War Amendment that ensures all Americans ... including politicians ... have skin in the game if a war is pursued, through war tax for individuals and corporations, conscription and, in the case of politicians, a strict set of rules for escalation into war that could cost them their office if they don't adhere strictly to the guidelines ... including `ZERO` financial contributions from military contractors.
The most important aspect of this War Amendment would be an understanding that the American Taxpayer will be completely responsible for Veterans when they return. Either in affording them opportunities for jobs, housing, and education, or, in the case of Disabled Veterans, complete support of their healthcare related needs in a way that is prompt and comprehensive. I have nothing but respect for groups who provide support to Veterans when they return from their service to meet their various challenges, but let's be completely clear on this ... the American People are COMPLETELY responsible for the well being of Americans who put their lives on the line for their country when they return home in order to return their lives to normalcy. Completely.
