If you could introduce a Constitutional Amendment What would it be

[Aurelius]

This would be my omnibus amendment to fix various issues with the structure of the federal government and rebalance the branches. The legislative branch's surrender of its powers to the other branches is becoming a big pet issue of mine.

Article I
§1. The method of the election of the President shall be a national popular vote.
§2. A Candidate for President of the United States shall be listed by name on the Presidential ballot if, one month before the date of the election, petitions are received in support of said Candidate, upon which are the signatures of unique Citizens of the age of majority, totaling a number greater than the total number of valid votes in the previous Presidential election, divided by two hundred.
§3. The Presidential ballot shall allow write-in votes for Candidates who do not meet the above criterion.

Article II
§1. Each State, Incorporated Territory, and Federal District shall send a delegation to the House of Representatives. Each member of a delegation from such a jurisdiction shall be a voting member.
§2. Voting members of the House of Representatives shall be apportioned such that the delegation of each aforementioned jurisdiction has the minimal number of members such that each member in its delegation represents fewer than four hundred thousand Citizens.
§3. If the total number of voting members of the House of Representatives is thus an even number, one additional member shall be added to the delegation of the jurisdiction for which the number of Citizens divided by the number of members, as calculated above, is greatest.
§4. Each aforementioned jurisdiction shall provide that every member of its delegation to the House of Representatives represents a Citizen population that is not greater or lesser by more than one-tenth of one per cent than the Citizen population represented by any other member of said jurisdiction's delegation.
§5. Each Organized Unincorporated Territory with a permanent resident civilian population shall send one non-voting delegate to the House of Representatives.

Article III
§1. Should the Government fail to pass a Budget in a timely manner as required by law, the President and all members of Congress shall receive no pay until the Budget is passed. Congress shall pass no Law providing back pay for such periods.

...more to come dealing with the Senate, the President, and possibly the Judicial branch
