These will come to me one at a time, so sorry if I add a post or two later, but this one has bugged me for a long time:

Congress shall make no law which does not equally apply to itself and other branches, except as otherwise provided for in this document.

(Until 1995, Congress had exempted itself from minimum wage laws, OSHA safety requirement, civil rights laws, and a host of other requirements they put on others, but not themselves. That ended with the Accountability Act, but then that could be rescinded; having it permanently part of the Constitution would be a good idea.

(The “except as otherwise provided” is included to allow for the speech and debate clause, and the exemption from arrest while traveling to/from or at the House or Senate. )

(Oh, here’s another:

Votes for impeachment shall be secret, with only the totals and result announced, with detailed recording released for public examination after 10 years.

If there is a better way to handle this, I’m open to it. At the moment the political party “loyalty” brings impeachment to a meaningless exercise; I suspect if the vote was anonymous many Republicans (to use the current example) would vote to remove Trump, but they can’t because of the political implications for their career and state. To be clear, I’m not trying to make impeachment and conviction easier, I’m trying to make it more honest.
