There is a requirement in Article 1, Section 4 that Congress must meet once a year in Washington on the first Monday in December. But we know the Constitution is no longer valid since the Republic was overthrow.

The precedent has been set, so the rest will fall into place, but only with a Constitutional Amendment.
Unfortunately we all know it in our bones…… the Bad Times approach and nothing will be done until the dust (could be fallout?) settles.
What if Congress was restored to its original requirement of one Representation per 30,000 citizens:
The Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929
On this date, the House passed the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929, fixing the number of Representatives at 435. The U.S. Constitution called for at least one Representative per state and that no more than one for every 30,000 persons.
If representatives were increased (doubled?) and stayed at home for most of the year, the people would be able to have access to their “representatives” instead of lobbyists, pimps and foreign interests controlling them.
I was just coming here to make the same point. And if they aren’t constrained by the size of the House chamber, there should be no problem with 11,000+ so-called “representatives.” And anyone who thinks that 11,000 in the House is WAY TOO MANY, should happily support breaking up the nation into sovereign entities of a more functional size that would ACTUALLY come close to providing REAL representation to the citizens and not just the bigBusiness interests that control DC now.
Dearest, Art. I, Sec. 2, clause 3 says, “The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand,…”
That means, e.g., that a State can’t have 2 Representatives for every thirty Thousand.
It doesn’t mean that for every thirty Thousand, one must have an additional Representative. Congress may provide, for example, that for every 60 Thousand, the State will get one Representative.
James Madison wrote a length of the problem of having too many Representatives. After a while, it becomes a mob. The New Hampshire Legislature has some 400 Representatives! Yikes!
I agree with a higher number per representative. As it stands, we are not represented in Congress. And we know where that will eventually lead.
.
But its important to understand that the population of the country has nearly tripled while the House has not increased in size one bit. The budget has gone up nearly 100 fold with ZERO increase in representation…and that is just from when the size was FIXED…to say NOTHING of when this country started. And I know the wording, but I can bet that the founding fathers, including Madison, would NEVER have said that it was far better to have next to no representation than to have too many. And I would bet that NONE of them could EVER have imagined a government that STOLE 1/2 of the wealth of the nation, took us and additional $1Trillion into debt every 100 days or so, micromanaged virtually EVERY SECOND OF EVERYONE’S LIFE, nor a government with an employee headcount larger than most of the nations on earth.
Our Constitution is still part of the Supreme Law of the Land. It is ignored and unread, but like The Bible, it is Valid.
I didn’t listen to the end of his vulgar rant. But no matter how many times ones uses the “F” word, the fact remains: Americans are ignorant and morally corrupt; and have the government they deserve.
And “term limits” on Congress would be destructive: If Mr. Filthy Mouth would uses his head instead of his filthy mouth, he might be able to figure out what is wrong with congressional term limits: https://publiushuldah.files.wordpress.com/2020/09/term-limits-feb.-2020.pdf
Unlike Mr. Filthy Mouth, I actually show what the problem is -- it’s a MORAL failure on the part of the American People.
I want to believe the Republic didn’t fall. It’s hard when you see protesters imprisoned without charges or for misdemeanors.
The Republic began its fall in 1865. The fall was complete in the 1930s with the “New Deal”.
We are just now seeing the results in real time.
I’ll say it, sadly our republic has fallen, “your” reps obviously no longer express your wishes, recall the reps represent the people, the senate represents the government. Vet’s on the street, $61 billion for Ukraine, families that are barely able to feed themselves due to rampant inflation, $26 billion for Israel, mounting unchecked debt rising by a trillion dollars every 96 days, $8 billion for Taiwan. Your Republic has fallen and as the country burns, bidum slobbers his ice cream.
I believe the congress approved another 60 billion for the Ukraine shit hole to fight the Russians.
The man in the video knows what need to be done. His plan would work.
You were given a warning there was foul language. Complain about something else. Your plan fixes nothing.
