Amendments to crimp the House of Representatives' power

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

I think there should be an amendment so the presidential election can't be thrown into the House. If no candidate gets a majority in the Electoral College, then whoever wins the popular vote should be the winner. It makes sense. If the House is the people's house, then we should just skip their partisanship and let the people's choice prevail.

Better yet, scrap the electoral college.

Bandit, the House of Representatives is indeed a gerrymandered rogue legislature, but it's gerrymandered through historical accident, whereas the Senate deliberately provides unequal representation by its very nature.

But the Senate has staggered terms, which lessens the power of right-wing demagogues.

Eh, they still got 77 votes for the Iraq war, so I wouldn't count too much on them doing the right thing.

The Senate is by it's nature much more undemocratic. The reasons why the House is crazier are

1. gerrymandering

2. That people don't seem to realize how crazy their representative is compared to how they pay attention to their Senator. Akin is a perfect example. He spent 12 years in the House (and another 12 in the state legislature) being an extremist with no one noticing, and lost by a decent margin in his Senate bid after people realized what an extremist he is.
