- I would repeal the 16th Amendment and abolish taxes on income from any source.
- I would have a balanced budget amendment that would require that the federal budget be no more than 15% of GDP and require that national debt not exceed 50% of GDP with a time limit of 20 years from ratification for implementation.
- I would severely curtail federal power by making the 10th Amendment statement of state's rights more specific, I would probably also make nullification explicit as well because I think it is a great idea.
- Lastly, I would severely curtail executive power. I would specify which executive departments are allowed and require that future executive departments be created by Amending the Constitution. In my view, the only executive departments we need are State, War (not Defense), Treasury, and Justice just like Washington had.
