You would, of course, in the process of abolishing the Senate (to do so we're already talking Constitutional Amendment) delegate all its powers to the House (or elsewhere if appropriate) to avoid that deadlock. Heck, you could handle the VP issue there too. Really the only hang-up is that literally the one and only thing the Constitution says you can't amend is equal representation in the Senate - which I've called Air Bud on. I think we may be able to compromise on renaming the Senate as the House of Lords, giving the President the right to dissolve Congress at will and to call elections at will (with no obligation to call an election after a dissolution), giving lifetime tenure to the President, giving the President absolute immunity from impeachment or any other prosecution, and criminalizing imagining removing the President from his office. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! ...
