Firestone Congressional Discussion

At the time of writing and with approximately 7 hours and 50ish minutes until voting, the House of Representatives have reached 11/13 candidates and the Senate have reached 9/10 candidates in their respective elections.

This presents a problem, it is incredibly likely that the House of Representatives will be understaffed and both chambers will have all members automatically elected without contest.

On this note & with a new Congress coming tomorrow, it is best to ask everyone for a potential solution whether it is reduced seats, different term lengths, staggering, electoral requirements, whatever. Please state them below!

wouldn’t it automatically be to initiate the term, and after a short period (a few days or a week) the speaker holds special elections?

if so, i think that works.

REDUCTION, ROTATION, RESPONSIBILITY

Reduction - reduce seats

Rotation - staggered terms

Responsibility - ethics committee that will make sure congressmen are ethical and responsible
