As interpreted the U.S. Constitution has various problems:
* The insurrection clause was gutted by making it not self-executing.
* Presidential immunity from crimes was a horrible mistake.
* No one has standing to pursue too many violations of the law, such as the emoluments clause, the bar on increasing Congressional compensation, some kinds of religious establishment (e.g. not enforcement the ban on political action by religious groups).
* The pardon power is too easily abused.
* Limiting campaign finance by corporations in a partisan neutral way is prohibited (although Citizens United is less of a problem than it is given credit for being IMHO).
* Term limits for Congress would be good.
* The filibusters has done more harm than good.
* Gerrymandering is an intractable problem and the first past the post system also leads to spoiler effects and a two party system instead of a multiparty system.
* Grounds for impeachment are too feeble and impeachment is too hard to accomplish for genuine crimes.
* The veto power is too strong, undermining Congress.
* The electoral college has proven to be a bad idea.
* The Senate is too distorting.
* The Second Amendment is a bad idea.
* Treaties are too often found to be not self-executing.
* Treaties are not subordinate to domestic laws.
* Given Congress control over election disputes in their own houses was a bad idea. Their roster should be out of their control.
* The unitary executive theory is incredibly harmful and should be actively overruled. The ban on legislative vetos is less of a big deal but also deeply problematic.
* The 25th Amendment on Presidential disability was a good idea, but was executed poorly.
* It should not be possible to be President as your first political position. Prior statewide office, a cabinet post, a top generalship, or service in Congress should be required first.
* The franchise should be affirmatively defined.
