Only one political reform will save America.
Forget restructuring the nation's health and financial systems for the moment.
Concentrate instead on completely revamping the United States Senate.
The upper house, occupied by 100 imperial autocrats, has been responsible for log-jamming vital legislation for decades.
A single solon, for example, can prevent any bill from being debated by the full chamber. No questions asked.
Defying rule by majority in other legislative bodies, the Senate insists on a 60-40 supermajority to enact disputed measures.
While the U.S. Constitution does require a two-thirds Senate vote to override a presidential veto, only a simple majority is necessary for passage of other legislation in the Senate and House.
It's time for a passage of a constitutional amendment stipulating that only a majority of 51 percent is necessary in any public voting process in America. (13 DECEMBER 2009)
