Is it time to pass a constitutional amendment to change the senate to the house of Lords?

And just like UK, all the members should be appointed instead of be elected. They can be from blue blood families only . And we will start with NY with Her Royal Highness, Princess Caroline Kennedy.

    Beginning in 2010, we are giving rule of the country back to Britain, so it should be taken care of...

    The only real difference will be spelling color with a "u", and changing "football" to what we call "soccer"

    It used to be the US Senate was an appointed type of position. While the US has outlawed the use of terms such as Lord, or Prince, or even the knightly Sir, up until the 17th amendment which mandated that the Senators we elected by the people, they had been selected by the state legislature. So in essence the US Senate was modeled somewhat on the UK House of Lords already and we had a Constitutional amendment to move further away form that model.Therefore, I think it is highly unlikely we would ever move towards that model again.

    It is time to pass a Constitutional Amendment to limit how much of our money the government can steal from us. All levels of government added together, all fees, taxes, licenses, and other forcible takings. People would be free to donate any amount they wish.

    Of course, we also have to turn the White House into the Washington D.C. Palace and promote its occupants to the status of King and Queen.
