Get rid of the position and have special elections when the presidency falls vacant. There are already countries that have special elections for the presidency, and the Senate can continue working in the short period of vacancy, and wait for the next president to enter office to sign any bills or the like.

Bicameralism is unworkable, folks. We are not going to have that successfully run in an online political simulation, especially when we're trying to maintain regional governments!!! I haven't heard a single argument as to why it is a good idea, and see no reason why it would increase activity at all.

I support having special elections for the presidency, with an interim figure stepping in that role during the meantime. Whether or not that's the vice president (if we keep that position) or the leader of the Senate doesn't matter.

I still like my senate idea personally. 3 regional and 6 district (2 per region) if we got with 3 regions, and 4 district (2 per region) and 5 at-large if we go with 2 regions.
