I am not sure I would really want to do this, but I often
think that I would like to change our governmental structure to make it impossible to
have divided government. Divided government is the situation we have now where Congress
(or just one house of Congress) is controlled by the party that does not have the
presidency.
When we have divided government, it seems like
nothing gets done even if there is, as there is now, a sense of crisis in the country.
The Democrats and Republicans can't agree on anything and our problems grow as they
bicker. It would be nice to see us have a system in which one party got to try its
plans out without being hindered by the other party. Then we could actually see which
party had ideas that would work.
I would change things,
then, so we would have fewer checks and balances and the executive and legislative would
be controlled by the same party.
