Constitutional Issues - Preservation of Constitution
2. Amendments to the Texas Constitution
For the preservation of our Constitutional Republic as set forth in the Texas Bill of Rights we:
a) Support an amendment to the Texas Constitution that will require a majority of the voters in at least 170 counties (two-thirds), instead of a simple majority of the votes, to pass amendments.
b) Support limiting the terms of the Texas Speaker of the House to two consecutive terms, after which the Speaker must vacate the office for the same number of terms served, after which that Speaker is eligible to run again.
c) Support an amendment to Article 4, Section 8, of the Texas Constitution to allow the Texas Legislature to convene itself upon petition from 55 percent of each house’s elected and serving members between Regular Sessions.
d) Support an amendment for term limits of twelve (12) years for state and county offices.
e) Support an amendment to allow the Attorney General of Texas to prosecute cases anywhere in Texas where county district attorneys refuse to enforce state law, and to prosecute those who are accused with prima facie evidence of violating state laws.
f) Support amending the language of the Texas Constitution to mirror the language of the 2nd Amendment of the United States Constitution, ensuring clarity and consistency in the protection of the people’s right to keep and bear arms. In addition, licensed concealed carry holders may legally carry firearms in public sporting venues, including, but not limited to, ball parks, arenas, sporting events, airshows, car shows, rodeos, or if financed in part with taxpayer funds or hold tax exemptions.
g) Pass unrestricted Constitutional Carry by amending Article 1, Section 23, of the Texas Constitution by removing, “but the Legislature shall have power, by law, to regulate the wearing of arms, with a view to prevent crime.”
h) Support an amendment that would allow for the recall of any elected officials in the state of Texas for misconduct while in office, or failure to properly represent their constituents
