15. How about

a Constitutional amendment to prohibit familial succession to the Oval Office? Seriously, we got way too close to an inherited monarchy. W couldn't get elected, he had to be 'installed.' A couple of centuries into this grand experiment, we have way too large a population to have the highest seats of power continuously occupied by members of only a few families. Or maybe just a couple of simple requirements, like having to be six times removed or waiting a hundred years. Just a thought.
