I say we try this:

- Statehood for Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Southern Mariana Islands, Guam, Samoa, and Washington DC. That makes the Senate 62 members (let's also term limit them to 3 terms).
- Increase the House to 1,500 members. Wyoming can have 1, and everyone else gets a proportionate number based on that.
- Increase the Supreme Court to 15 members (term limit them too. Toss them into a lower court after 18 years).
- No filibusters or super majorities. That's just stupid with this many people.

You forgot to make all illegals into citizens and open the borders.

Sounds interesting. If there was only one thing we could pick from your list, I’d do the term limits (congress and Supreme Court)

I guess that was two. Whatever!

That's not part of my platform. I just want better representation for the citizens that we have.
