"...make laws repeal themselves after 3 years.This way only the laws that are really needed will be kept."

Totally agree, and on my list of reducing fedgov power. Make all legislation (other than defense bills) have a sunset clause. Think how busy that will keep the professional politicians in DC and doing less harm.

My other main points on my list are:
1. Term limits;
2. Reduced Congressional sessions.

Thanks.
I agree with your 2 points also.
1. Term limits;
2. Reduced Congressional sessions

I'm hoping I can spread this message around: “make laws repeal themselves after 3 years.This way only the laws that are really needed will be kept.”

At most the Republican Congress will try to repeal one or 2 laws like Obamacare .But what about the thousands of other similar laws that authorize the EPA, TSA, FCC,FEC, dept of Education, dept. of Energy, The FDA, etc.?

Make laws repeal themselves after 3 years.This way only the laws that are really needed will be kept.”
