Restructure the US Government
Posted: Thu Aug 09, 2018 6:23 pm
So I want to know how people would Restructure the US Government from the current branches the US government has into a monarchy and to start off I will post how I would do it.
So starting with the Executive Branch I would make it so that it is still at the top of the government structure of the US. That being said where the US has a President and Vice-President I would give each a purpose with the President being in charge of foreign relations and the Vice-President being in charge of domestic affairs.
The Departments under the President
State, Defense, Immigration, Veterans Affairs, CIA, NSA, the U.S. Trade Representative, and the US UN Representative
The Departments under the Vice-President
Education, Interior, FBI, IRS, Justice, Agriculture, Homeland Security, FAA, FCC, etc.
The Vice-President would also be required to sit at the head of the Senate as is defined in the US Constitution with the Vice-President being the "President of the Senate" which would turn the US Senate into something like the UK House of Commons as the Vice-President would go back to being the canidate who came in second place during the election of President, or both the President and Vice-President would be elected separately as they techically are now. I was also thinking that sense the Vice-President is "President of the Senate" then I would make it so the Vice-President is choosen by the Majority Party in the US Senate something like this would make it so that the Vice-President can directly decide what laws are passed or not but It would be easier to remove a Vice-President as the Senate could just hold a vote of "No Confindence" like in the UK House of Commons with the removal of Prime Minister or the US House of Representatives could draw papers of "Early VP Election" if the Vice-President is elected sparately from the President.
US House of Representatives
The House of Representatives wouldn't really change much as the only changes I'd make to it would be that Representatives can only serve four years in the House and the position of "Speaker of the House" would be an elected position with the same powers as he/she has now, but with one extra power and that would be as the "Head of Government" and the name would be changed from "Speaker of the House" to "Chairman/Chairwoman of Congress" and they would have the power to recall both houses of the Legislature.
US Supreme Court of the United States
This branch wouldn't really change at all but the Chief Justice would be Elected by the people every three years with no term limit as to how long they can serve but the canidate would have to have passed the BAR Exam in their home state as well as pass a new Exam made exculcively created for the Position of Chief Justice which would be a test of their knownledge on the US Constitution which would have to be taken before they could even run for Chief Justice of SCOTUS.
So how would you Restructure the US Government either with or without the current Branches
