This representative govt needs to be done away with. The reasons why this "experiment" was started is because Americans were tired of a monarchy or it's lords unilaterally sending us into war without The People's say so and because the population was spread out to a point where it took months for information to spread across the country. Since we no longer have those problems, The People need a physical vote in EVERYTHING that gets proposed. Bills, Acts, bureaucratic red tape, Judiciary appointments, and ESPECIALLY Executive Branch appointments. And the background checks need to be verified by The People, too. Public office = public life in this case. Their whole life should be subject to the PUBLIC'S review before any appointments are confirmed, INCLUDING criminal, financial, work history/employment records (this includes the fully unredacted military service records), psychological cognitive and mental comprehension tests in full and 100% unredacted, and it all needs to be OPEN SOURCE for The People's Review.
Many, many people would say that's a breach of privacy. BUT I say, if you've done nothing criminal, have no psych cognitive or comprehension issues, are of stable mind and body, aren't in debt up to and past your eyeballs, and are otherwise 100% uncompromised, then you should have nothing to hide.
