'Daily Show' writer Kevin Bleyer on why he rewrote the Constitution

Author Kevin Bleyer thinks the U.S. Constitution needs a reboot.

Bleyer, a writer for "The Daily Show," offers a witty history lesson on how the founding document came to be in his new book "Me the People: One Man's Selfless Quest to Rewrite the Constitution of the United States of America," and explains why he's the perfect person to modernize it.

In the book, Bleyer, 40, of the Upper East Side, suggests some new amendments -- congratulations, by the way: You're now a member of Congress -- and recommends how we should pick our presidents.
