It is high time we change our rules for bills in Congress. It's time that a mere simple majority does not pass a law. The Amendment process is a lengthy, tough process for a reason, so that Amendments are not added lightly to the Constitution.
Laws should be the same. It should take a 2/3 vote to get a law passed so that they are not added lightly. If that were the case, this country would not be so bogged down in laws and regulations. A simple majority is not a mandate, in Congress or the Election booth.
This is not a game where we keep score and a two point difference is a win. This is the future of this proud Republic at stake. A 51% to 48% vote does not represent a clear reason to pass a law, nor does it make your team and its policies "right" just because you won an election.
It is time to grow up. It is time to make Congress work to pass bills. It is time to take our country back.
