      Nah, don’t tie provable intent to it. Just knowingly lie should be enough. If it’s not under national secrets or some other thing, lying SHOULD be illegal out of representatives. Always.

      They can always say, “no comment” if they feel the urge to lie.

    Eliminating the Senate is not a good idea. Maybe just fix it by populating it in proportion to the states citizens?

    And do yourself a favor and finally abolish the death penalty. It does not become to a civilized country.

        Have a look at the German system. They are also bicameral. Their primary house, the Bundestag, is like the US Congress. The secondary house is representing the 16 German states. The votes the representatives there cast are bound to decisions of their State governments. So the state government decides yes or no on a question, and all representatives of that state are bound to that decision of their state.

        This way, the first chamber represents the overall interests if the people on a federal level, while the secondary chamber represets state interests.
