 How about revising the First Amendment to read "Congress shall make no law." Full stop. Period. 

They can make recommendations. ☺️

 No man's life, liberty or property are safe so long as they are in session, as has been said.

 Everything went off the rails when states got legislative organs. All modern ills can be traced back to that special moment in history, the late 1700's, when legislatures were adopted or formalized throughout the West.

 Didn't some dude a few years back win a Supreme Court case proving that three letter agencies DO NOT have the right to make laws? Yeah, I just looked it up. The court overturned the Chevron doctrine taking away their right to interpret or make up laws.

 All laws should require 75% + approval. Very few laws would be passed 

The real problem is that the 1st Amendment should have been

“The congress and general government may not borrow any money from anyone ever.”
