One of the biggest problems I see, is that the people who really matter are appointed (i.e.: the Presidential Cabinet and Justices). Justices would serve for probably 10 years (single term limit).
2. Shift power from the federal gov't to the states -- almost all of it. Like it was originally intended.
3. Respect the Constitution. Make the language less ambiguous.
4. Create a "people's army" which is not controlled by the federal gov't, but rather an assembly of state controlled militias. This army would serve to keep the federal gov't in check. If the federal gov't ever abused its power, it would have to answer to the people's army.

kind of like a national guard that couldn't be called out by the prez?
Actually...lets just go ahead and do that to the original national guard.
