Rather than amend the constitution which should be done very *very* rarely lets just modify the laws..

To incorporate in the US here are the standards you have to meet

1. Excluding raw materials or items that can not be obtained in the US.. 75% of company resources are spent within the country. This can include labor costs for companies that import raw goods to be processed here.

2. Pay rates must be 15% higher than the minimum wage.

3. Top executive pay (including not taxable perks) can not be over 10000% the median wage (or mean take whichever is lower)

4. 70% of the workforce must be located within the united states or its territories.

5. All EPA regulations are followed and any variances are corrected in a reasonable turnaround time, repeated and willful violations will result in the yanking of corperate status and, as it follows, the legal protections that offers.

6. Corporate status can be yanked at any time and the company has 3 years from the date of status removal to reorganize as a private company include reimbursement of all outstanding stock.

7. Companies will pay their taxes or they will have their status yanked and the company has 3 years from the date of status removal to reorganize as a private company include reimbursement of all outstanding stock.

Its far better to do this in specific laws than in the constitution istelf because the requirements, measurements, and enforcement of this will have to change quickly with the times not go through the constitutional amendment process..
