28th Amendment: No President can issue pardons from Election Day through Inauguration Day. #ProjectCivicsWorks
#ProjectCivicsWorks Filibuster reform
@theblatt @senatefloorfan Excellent idea.
A variation that I've suggested in the past:
1) Majority vote to limit debate, but germane amendments can still be offered and decided without debate after postcloture time has expired.
2) Some higher threshold—60 votes or two-thirds—to preclude further amendment.
Draft 28th Amendment: No presidential pardons between Election Day and Inauguration Day; no secret “pocket” pardons.

Most creative 2022 #ProjectCivicsWorks was Darshan’s “The Amenders”proposal for a 28th Amendment to lower the threshold for future amendments.
The planned destruction of the South Shore Nature Sanctuary is part of the US’s long history of disproportionately destroying access to nature in low-income communities of color. Black Americans are most impacted by these racist policies. #SouthSideParks
The theatrics of the 21st century State of the Union message have become inherently divisive. Time to go back to simply delivering the SOTU to Congress in writing. #ProjectCivicsWorks
What would today's debates about voting rights look like had they written Article I, Sec. 2 to apportion state representation in the U.S. House according to the respective number of state voters? #ProjectCivicsWorks
The more I dig into the literature on gerrymandering and districting, the clearer it becomes that single-member districts are really, really bad for fairness.
So many problems and trade-offs would be solved or vanish with multi-member, proportional districts.

Note to Congress:
A 28th Amendment could prevent any president from issuing pardons between election day and inauguration day. #ProjectCivicsWorks

Best #ProjectCivicsWorks proposal of 1st semester #APGov:
28th Amendment that prohibits use of presidential pardons during the time period between a presidential election and inauguration day.
It's not just the House. By extension, the #ElectoralCollege is much too small. If we Uncap the House, we lessen the disparity between the popular vote and the Electoral College. The Founders did not intend for this massive disparity to exist, but the 1929 cap created it.
Time for the Iowa Caucus and New Hampshire Primary to move aside. Let Wisconsin, Georgia, and Arizona lead the frontloading in 2024 to prioritize more diverse voices in actual swing states. #ProjectCivicsWorks https://t.co/eBHcjV73G7
"Biden could be the first president in modern history to acknowledge that office has become too powerful, and finally scale it back." #ProjectCivicsWorks

States can use a 2nd round run-off or Rank Choice Voting for winner-takes-all EVs in scenarios (like AZ, GA, PA in 2020 + AZ, FL, MI, NC, PA, UT, WI in 2016) where the winning candidate does not win a majority of a state's popular vote. #ProjectCivicsWorks
State-level Electoral College reform could have helped Hillary win in 2016 and Donald win in 2020. States should change their rules to only award all electoral votes to a candidate who wins a majority of the popular vote. #ProjectCivicsWorks
Thinking through U.S. Senate filibuster reform that balances majoritarianism, state representation, and the Senate as a cooling saucer... If 25 state delegations vote to delay legislation/confirmation, then 60 votes needed to pass / confirm. #ProjectCivicsWorks
The 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
(Just my proposal.)
