Ask HN: How can we make Congress's law changes more legible?

2 pointsby arikrover 2 years ago
&quot;Congress routinely passes major legilation in a multi-thousand-page bill crafted at the end of the year with no time to read when everyone is out&quot;<p>Seems bad!<p>Who is in a position to fix this and how could they fix it?

&gt; Who is in a position to fix this<p>Those who are incentivized not to fix it.<p>Seriously though, most laws these days are bought. So, you&#x27;ll need money, lots of it. Maybe a 100K or so to start with. Probably a couple million at the end of the day.<p>Blessed are old people who plant trees knowing that they shall never sit in the shade of their foliage.

Convince them to shorten and&#x2F;or summarize bills with AI? Limits on bill length, and time of introduction- At least 2 weeks before federal holiday! Reduce voting by Proxy, lawmakers must be present to Vote. Term limits for our gerontocracy?<p>And the 2nd Amendment is always waiting, if the 1st is truly at risk
