I thought of an idea when I was AG because I agree that it is even worse now than it was then.

Basically all Bill proposals get emailed to the PPT/VP who introduces them onto the Senate floor in an orderly fashion (i.e. in chronological order) and instantly gives them debate time. That way there are never more than four bills on the floor under debate.

One of our main problems at the moment is that bills get debated almost entirely before they officially enter debate time since there is such a queue. Official debate time could be cut as a way to try to speed things up, but frankly I think an aggressive approach is needed, though very few Senators will be happy with my first idea.

It should definitely be an SPR. The Senate doesn't need the permission of the President to change its procedures.
