I see absolutely no downside to this.

I was sorely disappointed with the Supreme Court decision.
Yep.

I'm in favor of an amendment, if that's what it takes to get it done.

It would keep legislators from burying the bull$h!t pork spending in the fine print. Bills would have to be much more simple, direct, specific, and comprehensible.... As they SHOULD be.

It would not give the executive branch any additional power... Presidential veto CAN be overridden by Congress.
