Talking Re: The United States of the Solar System

Suggested revisions (amendments?) to The Constitution of the United Worlds of Sol. ...

Owing to the increased longevity of Beings in the United Worlds, Representatives should serve a One-time term of 10-years, and Senators should serve a One-time term of 20-years. By this, we also remove the costly and discordant "re-election campaigns." Those so elected may be subject to re-call by the Electorate for non-performance or malfeasants.

All elections shall be by DIRECT VOTE of the Electorate by simple majority with no intervening Electoral college or similar.

All Nation-States shall provide volunteer troops to the United Worlds Peace Troops, apportioned by a ratio of the respective population of each nation-state. Such Peace Troops shall be funded from the general funds of the United Worlds, and shall all train together for the purpose of maintaining Peace throughout the United Worlds.

Each and every Representative and Senator shall sit in council one month per year with the Local elected assembly of each District / Province / State / Parish from where they were elected.

Each and every Representative and Senator shall also sit in council two months per year in the General Congress of their respective Nation-State.

These total three-months will be essential to duties with the Congress of the United Worlds. These are necessary in order to remain close to the people and understanding the wishes of the populations.

Just for 'starters.'

Peace
