What if we replaced the Senate with a "Council of the Governors"?

Or what if we scrapped the Senate altogether and replaced it with nothing so that our government would be more democratic and representative?

I've advocated for that too. This could be a half-way step.

Discussing abolishing the senate should be done anyway even if only for the sake of making your idea look more realistic and moderate. My ideal upper house would be stripped of most legislative power, and instead be relegated to war, treaties, and impeachment.

If the senate didn't exist, the "American" Health Care Act would be law right now.

Invalid argument, you literally have no way of knowing this. Your hypothetical does not exist in a vacuum and would inevitably alter the direction of American politics in unknowable ways.

Not if a majority of Governors vetoed it. Many GOP governors seemed quite opposed to it.

You don't seem to get it, it's a struggle to get to the root of the issue and have a good faith discussion with these people. The last time I tried discussing the senate the other side responded with nothing but appeals to tradition and hackish consequentialism, now inducing a few myopic hypotheticals.
