  "The instability of our laws is really an immense evil. I think it would be well to provide in our constitutions that there shall always be a twelve-month between the ingross-ing a bill & passing it: that it should then be offered to its passage without changing a word: and that if circumstances should be thought to require a speedier passage, it should take two thirds of both houses instead of a bare majority." –Thomas Jefferson, Letter to James Madison, 1787

Any bill longer than two pages should require a two-thirds vote in both houses to pass.

Also any bill that is signed into law and then later overturned by the courts as unconstitutional - everyone who voted for that bill, and whoever signed it into law should immediately be removed from office for failure to to uphold the oath they took to defend the constitution.

Our current crop of elected overlords need to be reminded of the five most important words in the constitution - "Congress shall pass no law"

To extend your last comment, rodger, all Executive Edicts, especially those from The Komrade Mother-f***ing Liar-in-Chief, should sunset at 10 minutes. If even that long.

For every law passed, two have to be stricken from teh books.

And they sunset after 1 year.
