Does America need a prime minister?
We do not need a complete revolution and rewrite of the Constitution. We simply need to use constitutional provisions for fixing the Senate's lack of democracy, break up the big states and give their citizens greater Senate representation, as per Jeff Stone of Riverside county:
California Rebellion 2012
We are still basically suffering the aftermath of the Civil War which stopped the progression of Manifest Destiny. The two big western states, Texas and California, stopped in their process of breaking up into smaller more efficient and democratic states. New York, especially the metropolitan areas were frozen out of Senate representation, Illinois is short two Senators, as is Florida.
We have simple Constitutional processes to fix the problem, what we fear is a return to Civil War conditions, and that freezes us.
