What would happen if we abolished the Executive Branch

What would America be like if we only had Congress and the Courts?

The closest thing to a President could be someone elected from Congress who gets a 1 year term.

Bad idea. The executive branch is alot more then just the President and Vice President.

That would mean we'd have to go Parliament, but what would happen then?

is rathe entertaining.

Has been acting like a President, without "The Buck Stops Here". He has a total contempt for cabinet government and of parliament. He pretty much just dumps the bills in the House and then bullys the backbenchers into supporting it

The Executive Branch is not the problem. The problem is that we're stuck in a system of only two parties with an all-or-nothing electorate. In other countries, you have to form alliances with other parties in order to get things done, and THAT is what we need to move towards here.

NGU.

but who would put a check on corruption in Congress?

theoretically, of course. checks and balances and all.

:shrug:

When you have like-minded Partisans controlling 2 of the branches of the Government.

Parliamentary oversight committees. I would assume that we would also need some sort of self-defense force, maybe of the sort that Canada or Japan have now.

Yes, that might work well.

I would also like to see a privacy amendment that bars all laws that intrude or interfere with the personal affairs of adult citizens. Law enforcement should be devolved, as much as possible, to the local level. Meanwhile, free public education should include pre-school, college and graduate studies, as well as vocational and lifelong learning. Healthcare should be free and universal.

Taxes on investments -- including investment real estate (2nd homes), tradable commodities such as art, coins, collectables, high-end fashion and luxury goods -- should be increased, while regressive taxes on essentials reduced. Energy, electricity, water, and telecom should be re-regulated as public utilities.

Public and private investment should be directed towards a goal of 100% non-hydrocarbon energy production within 30 years. Other industries of public concern -- pharma, transport, communications, agriculture -- should also be re-regulated in the public interest.

Corporations that wish to do business in the U.S would have to pay a universal living wage. Similarly,we should encourage all our trade partners to sign a universal treaty on labor rights that would guarantee the same treatment worldwide, and impose quarantines and sanctions on countries that don't.

Oh, yes. Election reform. 100% public financing of elections - outlaw all political contributions, direct and indirect.

Yes, that might work VERY well, indeed.
