    I believe we need to abolish the presidency in the near future and distribute the powers to the House and Senate. Powers of government to the House and Powers of State to the Senate, with some fudging for checks and balances, like house passes laws and Senate has to intervene to veto them with some qualified majority rules like the EU has.

    I believe this has to be done because it’s pretty clear that a system with a single powerful leader inherently puts all the strain and division of the nation into that leader, especially when there’s no recourse when public sentiment turns against that leader except for voting them out, if that’s even an option to begin with.

    A dual-parliamentary system with some restructuring of the House and Senate would go a LONG way in venting a significant amount of the pressure that has built up under our elected leaders as of late.

    Also replace the singular supreme court with a sortitionate bench that’s drawn randomly for each case that rises to federal jurisdiction to shoot jurisdiction shopping dead.
