One of the ways I'd clean it up is by revoking the 17th amendment. This would allow the state representatives to elect United States Senators instead of having the state population vote on them. This amendment removed a great balance of power in my opinion. It turned Senate races into mob rule popularity contests instead of having the states pick them.
You want to totally eliminate campaign finances for a large portion of government? Have the state reps appoint senators again. The need to campaign for huge populations and wasting tons of money is totally eliminated. The founders really did know what they were doing, maybe we should start listening to them again.
Remember the United States is a constitutional republic and not a democracy like many will claim.
