A total revamp of Congress. We need a true separation of powers, not a collusion between all 3 branches. A monarchy or dictatorship would not work, as you well know from examples in other countries. So I hope this was a tongue in cheek comment.
Maybe I should have clarified: “We would be better without a Congress, as it is now.” It is totally corrupt and needs a thorough cleansing: of the people placed there, how bills are not “clean” but padded with pork for special interests, how lobbyists influence votes-pay to play, insider trading, special benefits for Congress while they vote for scraps for the “plebeians”.

"We would be better without Congress". Your words.

Ok. I can accept a bit of frustration induced hyperbole (grin). I think I've dabbled in that myself.
Have you ever seen te movie, Man for All Seasons? A masterpiece. Endlessly quotable and about the importance of law, even in a monarchy.
