a good proposal for an amendment for the Constitution would be to change the requirements to be president. you would still have to be 35 years old and be a resident in the United States for 14 years, but change the natural-born citizen part. instead of being a natural-born citizen make it be a United States citizen for 40 years. this way people whose parents move here when they are kids; these would be the only ways that they know and know as much as any other kid here. i think this would be a grand topic to talk about in your paper and could easly elaberate on with examples. remember to explain yourself and put your heart and soul into it to get a good grade.

If it aint broke, don't fix it.
There is proportional representation in the House of Representatives, hence, the changing of district lines and apportionment of number of House seats to the states after every decennial census.
It would be nice to see an amendment guaranteeing the freedom to bear arms. Oops. . that one's in there, no one pays attention to it.

I know we have freedom of speech, but still if we were to say something bad to people who are famous or like the president we could get in big trouble.
