Proposal for a New American Government

    I voted for the first time in 2016 despite being eligible since 2008 and to say I quickly became disillusioned with the whole thing is an understatement. A majority of Americans want a third party yet they refuse to vote for them. In 2016, 2018, and 2020 I voted for third parties whenever possible even though I didn't always agree with their platforms.

    I submit a short list of proposals to fundamentally change the American government. Some are related to voting and some are not (and none are set in stone as written here nor will it be limited to these items).

1. The replacement of the President with an unelected, hereditary monarch, titled as Emperor/Empress of the United States.

2. Puerto Rico becoming a state (with the Virgin Islands merged into it) and Washington D.C. being retroceded to Maryland.

3. Restore the Hawaiian monarchy as a sub-national monarchy.

4. Expansion of the House of Representatives to 695 members using the Cube Root Rule with states gaining seats by the current apportionment method.

5. Parties running for the House must meet a national threshold of .14%=(1/695)*100 to gain at least one seat. Parties meeting the threshold will be apportioned as (vote%/100)*# of seats for state = # of seats for party.

6. Each state becoming one multi-member electoral district (California=82 members, Texas=60 members, etc.)
