The US constitution needs an update [View All]

[johan helge]

Some examples (I'm Norwegian):

- In the Presidential election, simply the candidate with the most votes should win.

- Some time ago, Democrats feared for their majority in the Senate, because one of their Senators was ill.

- The Republicans could stop the Senate voting for a withdrawal from Iraq in April 2008 using filibuster tactics.

- "Corruption": You give my state, say, a military base, I support your bill on whatever.

And then there's the hideous political TV commercials. They're forbidden in Norway, UK, and other countries.
