Would you support to change the US political system to this model (a mix of presidential and parliamentary system)?


- The Senate is abolished

- The House of Representatives undergoes following changes:
  - 500 members elected in constituencies drawn by independent commission.
  - The party that won the national popular vote gets 50 extra representatives. One per state, who are determined ahead of the election(so-called at-large members).
  - The term is fixed to four years; vacancies get filled by a special election within 30 days. At large members get replaced by their parties.

- The House elects a president at the beginning of the term, usually their leader. No term limit.
  - The president remains head of state and government + commander-in-chief
  - Unless his/her term expires, the president can only be replaced by the House if a new president is elected. This is essentially a vote of no confidence, but can only succeed if a new officer gets elected.
  - President choses cabinet members without legislative approval. They can be removed by the House with a single majority (or get fired by president).
  - President nominates Supreme Court judges who need a 3/5 majority of the House
  - There is no vice presidency. In case something happens to the president the Speaker becomes acting president until the House elects a new president for the remainder of the term


Since the administration is always guaranteed to have a majority and midterms are abolished, the system would actually function better. In addition, the prez is more responsible to the House while not losing the titles head of state+govt and commander-in-chief.
