Overhaul the United States Constitution

I propose that the citizens of these United States call for an overhaul of the Constitution. The language and purpose of most of the amendments are too outdated, therefore, making it difficult to understand what the founders intended for each article. The current way the country is run is such that it avoids the constitutional barriers placed between church and state, and state and federal governments. I propose that we the people call for a commission to rewrite the constitution and bring it to the 21st century. Through the current administrations blatant disregard for the laws and set procedures for its actions, it seems that time has come for some changes. The current constitution is designed with state on state war, not terrorism; it is written with the idea that the US will be dealing one on one with other countries, not mass networks of treaty organizations consisting of several nations. It assumes a voting system that technology and modern thought have made obsolete. It assumes a governmental relationship within itself and with the people that needs to be rethought. The structure of our country needs work, the foundation is cracking, the roof is leaking, and all the additions are settling and tearing away. Lets get caught up on our house work before the whole thing comes crashing down around our ears.
