Futurized CONGRESS for 21st CENTURY

Under the U.S. Constitution for 21st Century and Beyond, Congress will be restructured for more effective enactment of laws to advance the nation. A new PREMIER LEGISLATIVE COORDINATOR of CONGRESS (comparable in stature to the President) will be elected to effectively manage, administer, coordinate, evaluate, and expedite legislative action in Congress--a capability not now existent.

The Premier Legislative Coordinator will be responsible for:

  • Establishing legislative goals and priorities
  • Coordinating legislative action in Senate and House of Representatives to expedite enactment of fair, effective laws
  • Eliminating FILIBUSTER roadblocks to LEGISLATIVE ACTION for more orderly, logical action on legislation
  • Curtailing PORK BARRELING by requiring that all proposed amendments be GERMANE to the subject matter of legislation
  • Utilizing VETO (transferred from the President) to assure valid quality of legislation.  (Abolition of the Presidential Veto will eliminate a major cause of power struggles and gridlock between the White House and Congress.  In addition, the new, equal-status triumvirate--President of Executive Branch, Premiere Legislative Coordinator of Legislative Branch, and Supreme Judicial Minister for Judicial Branch--will establish a real, workable "balance of powers" among Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches of the U.S. Government--not new existent.)
  • Congressional chaos, duplication, and money-wasting procedures will be transformed into a smooth-running "legislative machine" to serve the people and nation--a change from the "Political Country Club" operated for the benefit and convenience of Members of Congress

The Senate and House of Representatives, too, will be restructured to more effectively and expeditiously develop--and enact--legislation necessary for citizens and nation.

Background…
Under the old, antiquated Constitution, Members of Congress--elected without knowledge qualifications--have a long record of failure in fulfilling responsibilities to citizens and the nation, including:

  • Failure to establish realistic legislative goals
  • Inability to effectively and expeditiously enact legislation
  • Incapable of providing effective, management, coordination, evaluation, and oversight of laws, policies, and programs of the Government
  • Incompetence in financial management--resulting in more than 30 years of Federal deficits causing a skyrocketing national debt
  • Anti-American shutdowns of the Government resulting from incompetence, ignorance, or deliberate political sabotage by Members of Congress
  • Rampant bribery of Members of Congress--allowing $500 million to $1 billion of bribery to "buy" votes of Members of Congress and Presidents in national elections
  • Filibusters that allow talkathons--involving reading newspapers, dictionaries, telephone books, and other idiocies--to obstruct legislative action in Congress
  • Anti-democratic procedures that allow one Member of Congress, particularly a Chairperson of a Committee, to block action on Legislation
  • Non-germane amendments that allow inconsequential, unnecessary "Pork Barrel" legislation full of  pet projects of Members of Congress--unsupported by hearings or other validation--at high cost to taxpayers
  • Absence of self-enforcing provisions to require adherence to principles of the Constitution.  This dangerous flaw allows perpetuation of an unconstitutional monetary policy that enslaves citizens in economic servitude and retards economic progress.
  • Prevalence of corruption by Members of Congress that perpetuate tax laws almost totally exempting Corporations and other businesses from taxation.  This results in:
    • Higher taxes for non-business citizens
    • Skyrocketing national debt

Adoption of the new proposed U.S. Constitution for 21st Century and Beyond would eliminate or rectify such inequities, iniquities, and evils in Government.

Under the existing Constitution, inefficient, irresponsible mis-management of Congress fosters malpractices including:

  • FILIBUSTER--talkathons to block legislation
  • PORK BARRELING
  • BRIBERY
  • Fiscal incompetence
  • SHUTDOWN of Government
  • and other malpractices

The new Constitution will transform Congress into a smooth-running "Legislative Machine" to serve citizens and the nation--a change from the "Political Country Club" now operated for the benefit and convenience of Members of Congress.
