Yeah, you are absolutely correct, Pete. Now that this cat is out of the bag it will transform the bicameral legislative process forever and not for the better. IMO, the role of the Senate has been severely diminished. Just a smaller House with longer term representatives. If we take this path, I think we should adopt the Parliamentary approach of electing the Chief Executive. Separation of powers is now just a historical concept of government.

The one thing that O was truthful about - "We will transform America"
