I like a lot of your proposals,but I don’t think they will fix everything. Certainly an improvement though.

I don’t think the supreme court changes would fix issues with the court, and I think a 15 yr. limit could make it worse.

Each presidential term would get 2-3 nominations per term, allowing them to establish a majority if elected for 2 terms. Considering how powerful the court is, allowing a president to establish a majority simply by being in office for 2 terms isn’t great.

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?

How about a wall around the crazy states, everyone can go and come for some years, after that, close it. Let them drown in guns and bubbles, I say. - a joke, apparently. I like the list, maybe fight all the cults where old guys marry several underaged girls, too. Oh yeah, they still exist.

Perhaps this is just my European wallet talking, but $50k/y income = rich people. I'm sure there are states in USA where this is also true.

That sort of a change would totally crash tax income?
