"...having 2 parties causes a NATURAL roadblock to the function of Congress and allows each party to SWEAR it's gonna resolve the Congressional rules and open up the process. When they achieve power -- nothing happens. Even a token amount of 3rd party and Independent representatives would shed light on the issues. A disloyal party member right now has no where to go if they defy Party leadership. If they speak out or don't toe the line, they will be operating out of closet 5 blocks from Capitol Hill and facing a Party backed candidate in the next primary.. This party ALLEGIANCE would be broken down as soon as Americans understand there is no REQUIREMENT to vote either REP or DEM. You make easier for representatives to DEFY their party and run as INDEPENDENTS or 3rd party and a lot of your problems here simply go away... Better politicians, Better Voters, Better parties. Don't blame the Constitution."
This is more 'where it's at'.
I asked this earlier and I am sure it's in there somewhere. I just didn't see it....
Can someone direct me to the Article/Section of the Constitution that says that you need the majority of the body to approve a bill? Like we need 51 senators and 218 Reps currently to pass anything.
I'm sure somewhere it says there needs to be a majority...can someone show me where?
As for a 3rd party; you'll just end up with another "in it for me" group of legislators.
