Aldrich) Newsgroups: net.politics,net.flame,net.jokes Subject: A New Constitutional Amendment (a SEMI-serious proposal) Message-ID: <390@ihuxj.UUCP> Date: Thu, 2-Feb-84 22:47:07 EST Article-I.D.: ihuxj.390 Posted: Thu Feb 2 22:47:07 1984 Date-Received: Wed, 8-Feb-84 02:00:00 EST Organization: AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, IL Lines: 20 I have an idea for a constitutional amendment that would,in my view anyway,resolve many of the current political problems facing the U.S. today. Especially in the 18 months preceeding every election. For what it's worth,here it is: It shall be illegal for ANY POLITICIAN to hold public office within the borders of the United States of America. Somehow I doubt if it will ever be seriously considered, let alone passed by both houses and signed into law by the President (no matter who is in office at the time). But if it were, maybe we,the people of the U.S., could get a truly representitive form of government instead of the current form of government of, by, and for Special Interest Groups. What do you think,does this idea have any merit? Send replies to IHNP4!IHUXJ!AMRA or POST to the NEWSGROUP. PEACE & BEST WISHES From the ever curious mind of: Steve Aldrich (ihnp4!ihuxj!amra)
