Fixing the House
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...ss/575689/

Good read on what ails the House of Representatives. Well worth reading all the way through.

"If you are among the 11 percent of Americans who believe that everything in Congress is going swimmingly, then save some time and stop reading right now. (But first, please share whatever experimental drugs you are on.) But if you are among the 87 percent of people who are concerned about what is going on in Congress, then I have an important message for you: It’s much worse than you think....



When I ran in 2016, I assumed the problem with Congress was the people. I thought most members were either hopelessly unqualified or ruthlessly ambitious. Or probably both. And to be sure, Congress has always had its dunces and its Machiavellis...." <Didn't know he was actually a US representative>

RE: Fixing the House
Reading that hurt my head - and not because it didn't make sense. It makes A LOT of sense. Which of course means it will NEVER happen!

RE: Fixing the House
The first step to fix the House is triple the number of Representatives, then you can vote all the rules changes you want, for 1 session at least.
