Fantastic idea. Great video.
It would be a great idea to revisit the Constitution considering how much the world has changed since it was written:

That article is arguing that our "system" doesn't work because it's too old
I'd say it doesn't work because all our politicians are ass holes that are tied in with corporations.
These corporations regulate themselves. Big Pharma is all over the FDA, just as BP is all over the DOE. Monsanto is all over the DOA
We don't declare war, yet we're fighting 5 countries right now. Same corporations are profiting out their asses.
The two party system is a load of crap - We're too tied up in the largest pissing contest in history to get anything done.
The Fed has done nothing but devalue our currency since it was created.
So yeah, if we just adhered to what the constitution says, we wouldn't have any of these problems. But instead, we let people get too powerful, we let government get too big, we let the President do things the president can't do. etc.
