A Modest Proposal for Legislators

The US Constitution made federal law-making hard for good reasons.  Our legislators torque the process into pretzels for their purposes.

A modest proposal for legislation:

No omnibus bills with a large collection of individual items; each item must stand alone for an up and down vote.  Each bill must have fewer words than the US Constitution.  Legislators must attest that they have read each bill before they’re allowed to vote.
