I like a lot of your proposals,but I don’t think they will fix everything. Certainly an improvement though.

I don’t think the supreme court changes would fix issues with the court, and I think a 15 yr. limit could make it worse.

Each presidential term would get 2-3 nominations per term, allowing them to establish a majority if elected for 2 terms. Considering how powerful the court is, allowing a president to establish a majority simply by being in office for 2 terms isn’t great.

Stop I can only get so erect

I’d personally abolish the senate and leave the house alone, or change the house to one rep per every x number of people instead of whatever we do now.

Add political appointments can be recalled by the voters.

[–] 3volver@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

That's interesting, how would that work? If a political appointment was recalled, there would need to be another vote right? I think it gets pretty muddy, what's to stop bad actors from immediately voting to recall the politician they didn't want to win?
