mandatory voting is not something i agree with.
The house and senate should both exist, they both serve a purpose. The senate gives every state an equal footing, the house gives every state representation in regards to population, so they both serve a very explicit purpose.
idk about house rep cap. There are already so many, perhaps improve the makeup of the reps though? That's pretty messy.
on the supreme court term limit, include an age limit as well.
That's it, everything else would be fine probably?
I agree with you, I think uncapping the house is the right move however, it'd give the people a more representative vote while the Senate maintains State interests
i suppose that's true, but to a point, it doesnt really matter how big the house is, you just need a better member make up like i said. Ultimately, we already have a problem with incumbent house members. they get voted on every two years. Having more would only make that more likely, which probably isn't great.
I'll leave that shit to the political science majors, lol.
