I realize you are opposed to the bicameralist system, but we passed the CR in less than a week. The Budget Process and Control Act in 3 weeks. There are processes for simultaneous consideration of bills now The last 3 VPs in a row have been actively engaged in the proceedings of Congress and their work has kept bills flowing, passing through both chambers and on to the President.
This may have been accurate six months ago, but it is not the case now. In the Fourth Congress, one bill was put on my desk. In the Fifth Congress, over a dozen was placed on DFW's desk.
I've been VP for less than two weeks and Congress has already passed seven bills and resolutions under my watch. Bicameralism absolutely has what it takes to work as a system; it just needs active people in charge. If we abolish game mechanics that have only struggled due to the inactivity of some past officeholders, then we are only lowering standards when what we should be doing is rising to the occasion ourselves.
