    I actually didn’t mention removing the senate, so if you want my opinion on the senate it’s this: the senate and house should be rolled into a single electoral body that would essentially have a shape similar to the electoral college.

    Though I think expanding the size of both the house and senate would increase the number of people it had to bribe to block laws so I would also be in favor of expanding the senate to 5 per state and making those elections proportional and ending the idea of celebrity senators.

    It would be better to eliminate the senate but realistically I think the only way to do that would be to implement a national initiative process first that bypasses state legislatures from voting on constitutional amendments because there is no world where small state legislatures in enough small states would give up federal power.
