The average lifespan of a country's constitution is 12 years. But the U.S. Constitution has been around for more than 200. Is it time for a rewrite?

Featuring Marie Failinger, professor of law at the Mitchell Hamline School of Law; Silja Bára Ómarsdóttir, adjunct lecturer at the University of Iceland; and Chief U.S. District Judge John R. Tunheim.
