I think tacking on irrelevant laws onto popular bills to get them passed shouldn’t be allowed.
Politicians shouldn’t be allowed to trade stocks, especially when they’re in a position to pass laws that would directly affect their holdings.
Super PACs, it’s absolutely wild that that’s a thing IMO.
I think there should also be a “cooling off” period of some sort over passing/repealing laws. I’m thinking as an example of the Republicans after Obamacare was passed, when they tried to repeal it something like 70 times in 10 years. I get that things change and laws sometimes need to be amended or updated, but there should really be some system in place to prevent people from spamming up the whole system like that.

I’m also not a big fan of the filibuster.
