How about, keep the senate as is, but introduce a HoR that includes ALL Atlasians, excluding those in the senate, executive, the GM, etc. Only the senate could propose legislation, but the HoR would also have to vote on it.
Basical;ly, you wouldn't need a majority of members of the HoR, just a majority of voters in a 48-hour period. So, after a bill is passed, the SoFA would create a HoR thread for that bill, and close it in 48 hours. A majority of members wouldn't be neccesary, just a majority of those who vote, so if 25 people vote you'd need 13.
Whilst i'm not a huge fan of a bicameral legislature, this' be the method I believe would work best, plus it gives newbies a chance to really shine in the HoR.
