None, unless to make it easier to remove a President from office if he mis-leads the people about his belief of inevitability of war.

Might need a bit of tweaking to keep the president from acting more like a king than president.

None, because the Founders were a heck of a lot smarter than you guys.

The founding fathers had to be corrected on a number of things. So there.

A law review once asked a group of scholars to write on the topic: "what is the worst provision in the constitution?" I wish I could remember which law review did this: it was one of the few law journal issues that was actually worth reading. I recall that the 22nd amendment and the "due process" clause of the 14th amendment were mentioned prominently, and I think the 25th amendment and the "necessary and proper" clause may have made the list as well. It's hard, however, to argue with the choice of either the second or twelfth amendments: the second for its maddeningly ambiguous phrasing, and the twelfth because it is a stylistic trainwreck and it set up the modern electoral college system.

An excellent and piquantly accurate summation.
