I would also say change term limits but her is analogy that made me think twice.
if you are building a skyscraper do you want a in experienced builder? No you want the most experienced. That being said with experience comes obligations to the money that got and keeps you in power. Kinda of a double edge sword. Un tethered in experienced or experienced yet accountable to the money over the people.

1. Ban all political parties. This would encourage people to check into who they are voting for.
2. Ban all lobbyist from having access to government officials any politician caught taking their money will be immediately removed from office and all bills they have put forth will be discarded.
3. A politician cannot spend more running for the office than the job pays also a strict accounting of finances that the politician has spent must be available for public scrutiny.
4. Repeal Citizens United companies are not people so they should not be involved in the political process. This will also include Unions and any type of organization or Lobby that serves foreign interests.
If you want the government to run like it should then you need to take the money out of government.

1. elect a conservative republican as president
Good luck finding one there is no such thing in DC anymore. If you think electing a Republican will fix things then you may as well vote for a Democrat because both parties work for the same people. If you vote for either of these parties then you are part of the problem.
2. pass hr 4183 so no president can illegally not enforce laws.
Are you sure you have the right bill? Because HR 4183 has nothing to do with the President not enforcing laws.
H.R. 4183: Empowering States’ Rights To Protect Consumers Act of 2014
Empowering States' Rights To Protect Consumers Act of 2014 - Amends the Truth In Lending Act to limit the annual percentage rate (APR) applicable to any consumer credit transaction (other than a residential mortgage transaction), including any associated fees, to the maximum rate permitted by the laws of the state in which the consumer resides.
3. Not allow recess appointments
That has worked for both parties so good luck on getting that passed.
4. Pass laws to limit executive branch regulations
Just the Executive? It should be the same way for all of government.
5. Pass law to audit the fed
That won't happen because they have way too much power the best thing to do is repeal the Fed.

I think the real point is; regardless of party affiliation, they are all corporate puppets. The track record is there, when viewed from either side. The Bush's got richer. Clinton got richer. Cheyney got A LOT richer... as did Gore. Obama gets richer everyday... all at our expense. Our Senators and Congressman get away with insider trading on a daily basis. Lobbyists... stock options to the companies that pay the lobbyists... bills get passed; wars are declared because Exxon needs a new oilfield.
The people of this country have no say anymore. Coca-Cola and McDonalds run the show
