Abolish the Senate, double the size of the House, introduce mixed member proportional, abolish the Presidency and have the executive chosen from the House as in a parliamentary system.

No thank you!

"And don't tell me about London and Berlin, god save us from the mess they are in".

Except the German and (admittedly slightly more arguably) the British constitutional systems are far more efficient than the American and in 2018 it's blind nationalism to argue anything else. US-style 'checks and balances' just leads to total legislative gridlock and periodic political crises, and in the power vacuum policy being enacted through dubious executive orders and SCOTUS legislating from the bench.
