Our two party duopoly is unable to govern, and often cares more about their own interests than choosing what is best for the country. New voices and a third party could help break this logjam. One way to make room for new ideas is to expand the size of the House, which is small in comparison to other democratic legislatures. Surprisingly, there is a LIVE constitutional amendment already in play, ratified by eleven states, but over two centuries old.
