If you were to reform the US, what changes would yo make?

The US has collapsed and it's up to you to reform it any way you see fit.

From borders to govt form to flag to no changes at all.

A couple of things would make the US a much better place for all:
1. Presidential races decided by popular vote. That way everyone's vote is equal no matter where you live.
2. Congressional districts decided by an independent bipartisan commission. This would end gerrymandering at a federal level and hopefully improve representative government over time.
3. Legislative action on the Second Amendment to clarify that the individual right to own guns for hunting and for personal protection is upheld, but larger weapons intended to kill large numbers of people quickly and efficiently would be banned. This would also include other gun control measures.
4. Term limits for Supreme Court Justices. Twenty years should be long enough.
5. The next Supreme Court Justice appointment under a Republican President would be postponed until a Democrat was in office, to undo and remedy the stolen Merrick Garland seat.
6. Legislative approval of a national right to abortion.
7. Changing the confirmation process so the Senate cannot hold up appointees indefinitely. If a nominee is not confirmed in a certain amount of time, their appointment becomes automatic.

There are other improvements, but those will put the US on a much better path to democracy instead of autocracy.
