We have a minimum age limit, perhaps a maximum age limit? I think that could possibly sell. Perhaps allow for public input in the SCOTUS nominations. Not sure how that would work, but politicizing the SCOTUS is bad news.

But things like not allowing someone convicted of a felony from holding office seem like a slippery slope, because the public has a discretion already of not putting criminals in office.

I do think the insurrection clause needs to be clarified or otherwise removed.

@trollslayer clarified, definitely. They need to specify what they mean by insurrection.
