Current constitution is version 2.0. Bill of Rights is Service Pack 1, for version 2.1, and the next 17 patches make us on version 2.1.17.

You misspelled “malware”
You crazy Americans with your fixed constitutions - the UK system of just not having one is far better. What? Electoral dictatorship you say? Get thee gone sir!

Section IV of Article II could stand a little clarification. (They include definitions in the CFR.)
(Did I miss an earlier link, or are you all just pretending you know the constitution by heart?)

NRA? Heritage Foundation? What kind of place have I wandered into?
(I have the above link in my Bookmarks)
I am serious about my comment on the constitution:
Article II Section IV
The President, Vice-President and all civil officers of the United States shall be removed from office on impeachment for and conviction of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.
First: is it “other (high crimes and misdemeanors)” or “(other high crimes) and misdemeanors”
Second: what is a high crime or a misdemeanors?
My job involves compliance with federal regulations; the Code of Federal Regulations includes definitions. Why can’t they clarify this section?
We need to clarify grounds for impeachment.
(Don’t get me wrong; I love impeachment hearings. I learn a lot about the Constitution, legal precedent, and congressional rules; a quite a bit of youthful indiscretions. But anything that takes enough time to allow me to starch and iron every piece of plant-fiber cloth in my house, including the table linen - I have lots of table linen - is a waste of tax-payer money.)
Re: guns
Some people say it is an absolute right; some say it is tied to the militia (which was supposed to take the place of a standing army). A constitutional debate will change no-one’s mind.
I live in Massachusetts, I used to have a hell of a temper, and I approve of strict regulation of hand-guns and automatic weapons. I have no problem with guns; I worry about people who own them.
(I own a couple of guns. They’re somewhere in the attic; maybe the basement. I’m not certain where the key to the trigger locks are.)
