The way I see the future (NOT how I want it, but reality), about 3 months before the next elections a MAJOR crisis is going to hit our economy in a way that will allow Hillary (lets face it) to declare the constitution as "to outdated to be practical for our times", or the press will be handed some other catchy phrase to run with. And it won't take beyond the inauguration for something VERY similar to this to be presented.
"We, the multinational people of the ******* Federation, united by a common fate on our land, establishing human rights and freedoms, civic peace and accord, preserving the historically established state unity, proceeding from the universally recognized principles of equality and self-determination of peoples, revering the memory of ancestors who have conveyed to us the love for the Fatherland, belief in the good and justice, reviving the sovereign statehood of ******** and asserting the firmness of its democratic basic, striving to ensure the well-being and prosperity of ********, proceeding from the responsibility for our Fatherland before the present and future generations, recognizing ourselves as part of the world community, adopt the CONSTITUTION OF THE ******** FEDERATION."
Seem acceptable?
I only removed the word "Russia" from their current constitution.
Seriously, does anybody believe our government is going to continue to operate feeling it's hands are tied beyond the next elections?!?
