The US Constitution was written during the time when communications to and from Washington DC was very difficult. Parts of it catered to the pioneers on the outback of the United States at the time. Things moved very slowly with messages back and forth about policies and elections. {Pony Express}

Nowadays, communication is so great and is available to the world in the blink of an eye. Some of the older Constitutional amendments and wording needs to be changed without demeaning the original content and meaning. In other words, it needs to be easier to read.

I have learned from experience that a modicum of snuff can be most efficacious.

So, what would an appropriate update to the u.s. federal government (I presume federal) look like?

I don't know - I am only asking because I keep seeing Americans complain about the government structure on tv. My personal opinion is that if something is not broke then you don't fix it - however I am interested in finding out why some Americans have these views and what changes they would like. I am not posting this because of any hidden agenda as some people like dridiot above seem to believe.

Not just outdated.

Contaminated, spoiled, corrupted.
Totally and irredeemably dysfunctional.

The US government is not in need of revision.
It is already in the process of being dismantled and sold for scrap.

Yeah, sometimes these guys talk so much chit, one doesn't know whether to offer them a breath mint or toilet paper (as the old adage goes).

Yep, France

Best place in the world for any sort of expatriate dissident.

The one inescapable unifying principal in France is "vive la diffèrence"
