Law and political science professors across a broad ideological spectrum have come together to agree on five constitutional amendments, bringing more attention to the ongoing American constitutional conversation. The five proposed amendments include term limits for Supreme Court justices, altering the impeachment process, granting a legislative veto to Congress, and eliminating the requirement that the president be a natural-born citizen. And, in an attempt to balance government stability and democratic legitimacy the drafters of the newly proposed amendments also seek to make the constitutional amendment process easier.
