The Constitution needs to be Amended to make it necessary to get a 60% vote to pass legislation in both The House and The Senate.

Eliminating the filibuster helps conservatives. It makes eliminating the department of education and the federal reserve easier.

Yes, but making it harder to create new laws is only half the battle. Legislators love to make new laws, and the current system encourages them to do so.

So it should be made easier to remove old laws. How about it only takes a 40% vote to delete a law from the books?

We would be a better country with less legislation. Let's make it easy to reduce the amount.

Only caveat would be that only a simple majority is needed when a law is repealed.

The Constitution needs to be changed, again, to bring back the old method of appointing senators by the states.
