Georgetown law professor David Cole has a very funny parody of what the Constitution would look like if the incoming House Republican majority had written it. His concise reimaginings of Articles II and III are perhaps my favorite part:
Article II. No person except a natural born Citizen who can produce video, photographic or eyewitness evidence of birth in a non-island American State shall be eligible to the Office of President.
The President shall faithfully execute the laws, except when, as Commander in Chief, he decides he'd really rather not.
The President shall not negotiate any Treaty without first receiving a signed and notarized note granting him permission, personally executed by every member of the Senate, the House, all 50 Governors and the editorial board of the Weekly Standard.
Article III. Judges shall strictly construe this Constitution, and we mean strictly, and shall under no circumstances cite, refer to, read or mention at cocktail parties or cookouts any principle or provision of International Law.
Suspected Terrorists shall be taken to Guantanamo and drawn and quartered in a public ceremony. Trials are optional, but if they occur, must be conducted in a Military Tribunal in which coerced statements are admissible so long as they support a Guilty verdict.
Supporters of the Affordable Care Act will enjoy Cole's Ninth Amendment: "The right to be uninsured and make other people pay the costs of one's Health Care shall not be infringed under any circumstances."
