Democratic Solution To The Filibuster: Make Them Talk

[MyOpinion-2]

17. Mr Reid, my suggestions for the opposing party filibustering are as follows:

When Congress is not doing their job, and instead spends their time filibustering bills that need to get passed or blocking a person that needs to get approved, such behavior prevents the country from moving forward. My suggestions for the opposing party filibustering are as follows:

1. When an individual from the opposing party filibusters a decision or a bill that needs to pass
they should not get paid for the time that is spent filibustering.

2. In order for a person to filibuster a decision or a bill they should be required to talk for the
full duration of the filibuster. If more than one person wants to filibuster that same bill or
someone waiting to be approved for a position, the previous person should not be allowed to
come back to the floor to pick-up from the last person.

3. In order for anyone to filibuster, from either party, there should be a requirement of at least
a 51% bipartisan majority to agree to a filibuster before it can be implemented.

4. There should be a time limit on how long filibuster rules can be used before new rules can
be voted on. Example: Maybe every four years the rules can be reviewed by both parties
and agreed on.
