1. Only citizens of the United States of America whose identity is firmly and regularly established shall be permitted to vote in any federal or state wide election.

That would be OK, if there was a central database for citizens, and documentation was available to citizens free of charge.

2. Election Day shall be a National Holiday. "Early" voting shall take place no more than 1 week prior to Election Day.

WHAT!!! Burden the "JCs"?

3. The census of the United States of America shall only count citizens of the United States of America.

There is a wide variation in the concentration of immigrants among states. Some 21% of the population of Florida, and 17% of the population of Texas are non-citizens. Census totals are used for allocation of Federal funding, so Florida and Texas would be among those shortchanged.

6. The Congress of the United States shall make its best effort to balance the biennial budget. A budget shall have a deficit of no more than 1% of the Gross Domestic Product of the United States excepting during national emergencies.

Use the "pay-go" rule that worked in the late 90s. The rule required every tax cut be paid for with an explicit revenue increase or spending cut somewhere. Every spending increase is tied to a specific revenue increase or spending cut to cover the cost. Here in Michigan, the (L&Ses) always play a shell game: proposing tax cuts, while the revenue increase or spending cut to cover it is a deep, dark, secret, until after the tax cut is enacted, and the resulting deficits are "suddenly discovered". For forty years we have been assured that "cracking down on waste, fraud, and abuse" will cover the "JC" tax cut, which, of course, never happens.
