If the USA gets an overhaul, we will need rules about those things. My thoughts:
1: Dividing up the funds raised equally across party members. Those who don't want their funds, puts it back into the general pool to be spread out again.
2: Deals for adtime must give an equal spread of time across all members, and as before, can be repooled if someone doesn't want their time.
3: Increasing the voting time to a week, and putting limits on the word count of bills. Comprehensive bills can be chunked into smaller billettes, individually voted on.
4a: Reduce the amount of recess time that congress has. They get too much for what little they do...
5b: Alternatively, congress can have recess, but they have elected backups who can vote in their place. Say, for example, the runner-ups in a election get to be "Vice Congressman", who get to vote on bills when the main congressional isn't doing their job.
