The new AS think tank is trying to figure out how to make congress work together.
It might make sense to have this think tank figure out how this problem occurred.
Congress started to have longer and longer terms for each of the members in part due to technology and in part due to the fact that longevity has increased. This was exacerbated by the fact that more money and power was voted by congress to congress.
This allows for long term clubs to be formed of increasingly intrenched and inflexible congressmen.
The solutions for this are covered in World War C and the essay, but the AS think question can be easily answered.
1) Implement Congressional Term limits (with or without the consent of Congress)
2) Eliminate Congressional Perogative.
More on this will be published in later blog posts
