Our government was intentionally designed to be run
by the House of Representatives (i.e., “we the people”).
The senate and the president were to be little more
than figureheads and administrators.
All the House of Representatives (i.e., “we the people”)
has to do is “nothing”, and the entire system will shut down.
I would like to see the Senate exactly that... as a 50-person body comprised of governors serving in dual-hatted positions. What power they would have would be to help safeguard the states' sovereignty.
This House of Lords arrangement we have now in the Senate is counterproductive.
