As long as we're talking about proposing bills that can't get passed in the present atmosphere as a fake-out to start a national conversation, why not try something that not only needs to be talked about, but really does need to be passed at some point.
We absolutely need to get the sole authority to declare war back in the hands of Congress, as the Constitution provides. That, more than anything else, is what will rid us of more imperial adventures instigated by some "advisers"--people who nobody voted for and are accountable to none--to some future Thug-in-Chief who somehow manages to slither into office.
Get it back in the hands of those who are directly accountable to the people, and make it clear when the question comes before them what it really is they are voting on. No more IWR shell games.
It will take a while, but start talking about it now. That's a conversation-starter I can get behind 100%.
