Abolish The Senate

I think the Senate should be apportioned by population.

I also think the House should be districted without regard to state boundaries. Many districts would cross state lines, but that's just tough.

Why is it that every time the left loses a big one, the proposals about how the nature of American Democracy need to change come out of the woodwork?

Then why do you think we have a process for amending the Constitution?

Most countries get by with one chamber just fine, so there is no reason for this country to have two.

In my adult life, the House has usually been worse than the Senate, so I think we should have two.

An advantage of the Senate is that it has staggered terms.

An advantage of the House is that it's closer to being apportioned by population.

You mean like the House of representatives?

Wasn't having a House and a Senate kinda the whole point of "The Grand Compromise"

In the 49 states with a bicameral legislature, both houses are apportioned by population (or are supposed to be).

I'm tired of the cities getting crapped upon, quite frankly. The cities are unfairly underrepresented as it is.
