"The Failure to Do Your Job" amendment (was Re: White House ...)

Please forgive me for following up to my own posting, but I just realized
how close I was to a solution:

A Constitutional amendment that would call for the impeachment of the
President for failing to veto any three bills that are overturned by the
Supreme Court on Constitutional grounds.

Call it "The Failure to Do Your Job" amendment, or the "For Violating Your
Oath" amendment.  Maybe include a clause that stipulates the ex-President
must also return any salary earned during his or her tenure.

I have a better solution:

Any elected official or govenment employee found to have willfuly violated
the Constitution of the United States of America should be draged to the
capitol steps and promptly lynched.

	Then you'd have to lynch those that did the dragging and lynching 
as each induhvidual has the constitutional right to a trial.

An amendment that allowed lyching-without-trial would make it legal.

"First the lynching, then the trial."

Whole bill?  One little amendment to a *large* bill?  (CDA being part of
the Telecommunications Act of 1996.... hmmmm..)

Not a bad idea, but it suffers from the same problems we discussed about a
month ago regarding members of Congress...
