REGARDING: You do realize that you’ve just enshrined a government program, Social Security, as part of the covenant known as The Constitution of the United States?
RESPONSE: Whereas I appreciate your critique, the purpose of my offering this was to promote and share this with others.
I did not edit the proposal.
Such a “proposed” amendment can, of course, be fine tuned to be the most effective and correct.

REGARDING: Also, item 7 sets a dangerous precedent, that contracts entered legally can be revoked later merely because of one of the parties happen to holds an elected office.
RESPONSE: There’s a concept of “clawback”. Congress has promulgated legislation which has benefited the members, themselves, to the detriment of its constituents.
There are situations that contracts can and should be abrogated and this might fall into that category.

NOTE: I am very sorry that you didn’t opine regarding the substance of the proposed amendment.
Are you an attorney?
Form over substance?

Thanks,
