A proposal to fix Congress by drastically increasing the number of Representatives, by ratifying an early proposed constitutional amendment.
Seems less unlikely in light of the amazing story about the success of a UT student in organizing support to ratify the 27th Amendment (which the article refers to as the “failed eleventh amendment”). I assume teachers didn’t share this story with me in school in order to protect their limited power; if I had known that merely amending the US Constitution could get me two full higher letter grades on a paper, my life might have taken a very different course.
In any case, I am torn on this idea: the case it makes does sound interesting, but I also think that more populism in national government is unlikely to produce good outcomes. Still, one understands the impetus to poke our representative body with a pointy stick.
