Kevin Bleyer believes the U.S. Constitution to be a “hot mess.”

Bleyer, an Emmy Award-winning writer for “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,” a frequent commentator on NPR and a contributor to several of President Barack Obama’s speeches, arrived at Iowa State on Thursday, Sept. 26, for a lecture in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union.

Bleyer’s lecture drew support for his book “Me the People: One Man’s Selfless Quest to Rewrite the Constitution of the United States of America.”

After pointing out that many Americans misquote, misuse and misinterpret the Constitution, Bleyer suggested the document is obsolete.

He said the Constitution is less of a “blue print” and more of an “Etch A Sketch.” Bleyer also said he takes it upon himself to rewrite the Constitution.

Bleyer pointed out that Thomas Jefferson once said that each constitution “expires” after 19 years.

“If Apple can rewrite their iTunes terms of service every 19 minutes, I can [rewrite the Constitution] every 19 years,” Bleyer said.

Bleyer went on to talk about one of his suggested changes to the Constitution.

“My proposed change to the Supreme Court: revoke lifetime tenure,” Bleyer said.

Bleyer spoke about meeting with Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia to discuss his supposed change to Article 3 of the Constitution. Bleyer said there should be a change since the Constitution says nothing about lifetime tenure.

The Constitution states that Supreme Court justices should remain in their positions as long as they showcase “good behavior,” he said.

Bleyer’s supposed revision would include appointing three people to make sure the justices still are showcasing this good behavior.

He suggested this holds true to the original meaning of the Constitution rather than the modern-day government’s interpretation of it as a lifetime tenure.

Bleyer went on to speak about the growing popularity of “fake news.” He spoke about how many people get their actual news from shows like “The Daily Show.”

“America never really saw it coming, but satire has become a pretty darn popular way to digest the bitter pill that is daily news,” Bleyer said.

In addition to speaking about the proposed changes to the Constitution in his book, Bleyer spoke about his career.

Originally, Bleyer wanted to be a war correspondent. He said that he started out in hopes of becoming an “actual journalist” before moving into the field of “fake news,” as which he identifies “The Daily Show.”
