At the moment the Republicans almost control enough state legislatures to call a convention of states. Assuming they could all agree on something useful, what amendment or amendments do you think should be made?

A lot of people saying term limits for Congress but I don't think this will do much and possibly even make things worse. The issue isn't about term limits but actually bribery, regulatory capture, and control over who runs for office.
If you place term limits without correcting those three issues all that will happen is there will be a revolving door of big-business lackeys instead of a consistent set of big-business lackeys. This could lead to an even more controlled Congress because the individual congress people would have less power since they are limited in term.
Putting an end to the self selected political class would be worth pretty much any price if you ask me.
It's not a self-selected political class though. It's a political underclass selected by the financial system overclass. So long as those people get to pick who runs, term limits are close to irrelevant.
