Let the Senate be able vote on stuff, but takes a 2/3rds majority against to block anything the House passes. If the Senate doesn't vote on a bill within some (fairly short) time limit, it passes automatically. Same with presidential appointments and so on. We'd still have an equal Senate, it just wouldn't matter much most of the time. --- Congrats to 2019 Guru champ Advokaiser! <cite>Xeybozn posted [p:931853361] in Politics C...
