Decentralize Congress

(This one’s mine. I got the idea from bitcoin and harry potter. Don’t ask. My mind is weird.)

That is, whenever a session is about to convene, members are chosen AT RANDOM from a large pool of qualified citizens (I’ll address quals in the next paragraph). Like jury duty. The sessions are held remotely and the citizen is excused from work and paid well.

Qualifications vary based on the substance of the meetings and participation is entirely VOLUNTARY. Most matters on general affairs will require the equivalent of a HS Diploma, but if the substance is more complex, higher quals are required. These are decided by examination. For example, if the session is on climate change, you need to have passed the sciences portion of the exam to qualify.

This is MORE representative than voting. Consider, you could abstain from voting the rest of your life and not a SINGLE election would change outcomes. Here, you have a real voice, but we don’t have Joe Blow making laws about economics.

Think about it. No more money in politics. No more career politicians. No bribery. And no ppl who can’t pass a science exam making medical decisions.

Lastly, this only applies to Congress and possibly state senate.
