41. Direct election of the national ticket by popular vote
This would eliminate the byzantine system outlined by the Twelfth Amendment and overturn the outrageous Supreme Court decision in the case of Bush vs. Gore.

It will also put a stop to any further misadventures on the theme of: if our man is ahead but is likely to lose, we'll stop counting votes and if they make us we'll take it to court and if we lose there we'll just have the state legislature award the electors to our guy and if that's challenged it's no big deal because we control the House anyway. You remember that story, don't you?
