Offers an in-depth look at the U.S. Constitution and issues that have risen out of its application through history, from the electoral college and filibusters to voting eligibility and presidential succession. Explores how the Constitution has evolved over time and provides suggestions as to how it can be further improved to keep it relevant and efficient.

It takes two to tango (bicameralism) -- Big states, little say (the Senate) -- Delete! (presidential veto) -- Majority rules, except when it doesn't (supermajority rules) -- How to cherry-pick voters (gerrymandering) -- Taxation without representation (the District of Columbia) -- "I'll just do it myself!" "Oh, no, you won't" (direct democracy) -- Who can vote? How do you know? (voting rights) -- Who gets to represent you? (restrictions on running for Congress) -- Who gets a shot at the oval office? (restrictions on running for president) -- Time's up! (presidential term limits) -- The college with no courses or credits (the Electoral College) -- Pardon me? (presidential pardons) -- You're hired! (Maybe.) You're fired! (the unitary executive) -- Knock, knock. Is anybody there? (continuity in government) -- Is there a leader in the room? (presidential succession) -- The duck's in charge, January 20 (inauguration day) -- At war (emergency powers) -- At war with bugs (habeas corpus) -- We can change it, right? (amending the Constitution) -- Grading the Constitution (now what?) -- A constitutional convention?! -- Articles and amendments.
