My support would depend greatly on the powers of the President in this proposal. Is he just a symbolic head of state like in many European countries, or is this an active politician that has actual influence over legislation?
If he's just symbolic....sure why not? Not a bad system.
Probably a symbolic head of state/diplomat. I would also like to hash out exactly how big such a legislative body would be?
I dunno...probably similar to its current size?
I've always preferred a larger legislature but have concerns over a body comprised of all the citizens. A body double the size of the Senate wouldn't be such a terrible idea in my opinion. It would also give us some interesting new legislative opportunities, such as the creation of committees, which is unfeasible in our current legislature due to it's size, while still retaining the excitement of running for and holding the elections.
I'm eagerly awaiting Lief's ideas.
If any such increase in size were to occur, then it would be absolutely necessary that we allow dual office holding at both regional and federal levels to make sure that we have the necessary number of people to keep things competitive.
