Section 3

Each state will have at least one Federal Representative.   The District of Columbia will also have Federal Representation based on its population.

 

Section 4

When vacancies in the Federal Congress occur because of sickness, death, or resignation, the residents of the pertaining district can vote for a new Federal Legislator.  

 

Section 5

The Federal Representatives shall elect one of their own members to be the Speaker of the House at the start of every new term, based on the Instant Runoff Voting method.   This Speaker of the House shall choose the Chair Persons for the established committees.   The Chair Persons, in turn, shall select a diverse group of committee members.  

 

Section 6

The Representatives will be allowed to try, impeach, and remove any high-leveled federal officer in the legislature, executive, and judicial branches of the federal government.   Any officer impeached is also liable and subject to indictment, trial, judgment, and punishment, according to the law.  

 

Section 7

The supervision of federal government elections shall be done by the counties in each state.   Since the method of registering voters and counting votes should be uniform throughout the country, the Federal Representatives shall elect a National Elections Commission every four years to ensure that our elections are fair and honest.  

 

Section 8

The Congress will first assemble the third Monday in January of every year.   Members of Congress do not have to be present at the Capitol Building in Washington DC to vote on bills, unless the Speaker of the Congress deems it necessary.   All such debates will be televised for public viewing, so that citizens can be equally informed as lawmakers on all the issues.    All bills must be written by elected members of Congress, not lobbyists.   All bills must deal with one issue only.   Every lawmaker must read every bill in its entirety.   

 

The best arguments for and against a bill must be expressed in writing from opposing political parties, and they must be made available to the public at least two weeks before there is a vote on a bill.   Citizens of a district may electronically register their vote on a particular bill, and Federal Representatives should wisely consider input from their constituents.   The results of all citizens input on every bill must be made public.

February 11, 2023 I grew up in a church that said you had to speak in tongues to get saved and go to heaven. I often prayed fervently starting at the age of 5 for the experience in the prayer room at church, where people would cry and wail, (more...)
