A New Amendment to the Constitution of the United States?
AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES
No person shall be eligible to hold elective office, appointed office, or employment with the United States, who has not honorably served a minimum of two years active duty in the armed forces of the United States or served a minimum of sixty days deployment in a war zone as a Guardsman or Reservist.
For persons deemed physically ineligible for the military, two years alternative service, to be designated or instituted by the Congress, shall substitute for Military service..
Honorable discharge from the military, due to service connected wounds, injury, or illness, shall establish eligibility for the purposes of this amendment.
The provisions of this amendment shall not apply to those holding office or employment at the time of ratification.
Give me a little feedback on the idea. A movement is in the works.
Those who run for office should be VETERANS, not military people as Rankin has suggested. Please re read the question.
