An interesting proposition, although I do not agree with it.

In the House, we are a democracy. In the Senate, we are a Republic. We need both.

No.
Two term limit for both houses.
No kingdoms built...folks go back to their real jobs.

I do support removing the 17th Amendment removing the selection of US Senators by state legislatures. The original Constitutional wording needs to return.

Repeal the 17th - AND expand the number of House seats dramatically to correlate with population growth.

We essentially have two houses, both elected by the people. However, thinking that the state reps electing the Senate would work out better, HAHAHAHAH with all the RINOS?

My first thought, was: what moron thought this up? Then I see the Washington Comoste as the source and it all became clear.

They support a dictatorial executive.

Sure the Senate has issues. Humongous issues, but WTF!
