Since there is now a call to amend the U.S Constitution for a balanced budget amendment, because congress can't seem to do it on their own, would it be more logical to elect the Constitution itself to congress, rather than human beings, fix the budget mess?

I suppose if an inanimate object were capable of self awareness and mobility, the Constitution would do very well in the position.

But if he's the only member voting Yea or Nay on a bill and the remaining members all vote contrary, there's not much he could do.

Well, since it is human beings who are elected, if they aren't able to balance the budget now, I am curious how also adding the demands of the Constitution on top of it are going to balance the budget.  Won't, even with the Constitutional Amendment still find ways to do an end around, rather than do cuts?

I was wondering if it also would be possible to put "Unnamed candidate" on the ballot somewhere, and have them run.  Since I see in polling that an unnamed candidate will often beat a known candidate.

well since FDR the US has been raping the constitution. so i think he;d be in pretty ruff shape, and would only have a handfull of people trully believing in him, like ron paul and michelle backmann, and some others too

How about we rebell, and that's not a joke.

I've supported this notion for a few years now.

The Declaration of Independence spells out rebellion quite well.  In fact, it's why the Second Amendment was written...to ensure the people would have a means to rebel with.

we do have the 2nd ammendment for a reason, it wasnt only for hunting.

limiting the ability of a government to become to big and oppressive comes to mind.

but i dont think we are quite to that point yet
