Constitutional Amendments: Veto, Term Limits, Taxes

Proposed changes to the U.S. Constitution could impact how public money is spent, limit politicians' time in office, and make it harder to raise taxes. Citizens might experience greater control over government spending and tax stability, but also changes in political representation.
Key points
The President would gain the power to reject individual items in spending bills, potentially leading to more efficient public finance management.
Term limits would be introduced for Representatives (6 terms) and Senators (2 terms), which could increase political turnover and bring fresh perspectives to politics.
Raising or imposing new taxes and fees would require a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress, making it more difficult for the government to increase financial burdens on citizens.
