Five Constitutional amendments we need:

1. Strike pardon power;

2. First sentence of Article II changed to: “The President shall execute the laws of the United States of America”;

3. Abolish the electoral college;

4. Congress may regulate money in politics; and

5. Congress may create independent agencies with charters of up to 25 years. (President still names and Senate still confirms appointments. But they can be insulated from “the executive Power.”)

Everything else, including judicial reform, expanding the House and implementing a wealth tax (1% over $100mm, 2% over $1bn, 3% over $10bn, 4% over $100bn and 5% over $1tn), can be done through statute.
