A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to suspend construction of a $400 million ballroom after it demolished the East Wing of the White House. U.S.
I think my main focus would be to end the two-party system by switching Congress to proportional representation.
If I understand your comment correctly what you are describing is how Congress was originally setup! It was broken by the Re-Apportionment Act of 1912. No need to re-write the Constitution it’s “just” a Federal Law.
a drastic reduction of presidential power is an obvious step
The President only has as much power as they do because Congress has been steadily handing it over since the 1940s.
perhaps have both a president and a prime minister like many European countries do
We weren’t far away from the spirit of that but we broke it in 1804 with the passage of the 12th Amendment.
The Supreme Court needs reform…
It’s really not SCOTUS that needs reformed it’s actually our Constitution. It was simply never meant for the environment in which it now exists, it’s unfit for purpose. The easiest way to explain is that the US Constitution wasn’t meant to control an all powerful central authority, it was meant to prevent one. SCOTUS twisted that shortly after the Civil War and now here we are trying to manage ourselves by looking at a mirror reflection of our guiding document.
