It seems to me that the Speaker of the House has a lot of power and it not really necessary to have a position with that much power.
There should be processes whereby every law that would have a majority behind it can be brought to a vote even if the Speaker of the House doesn’t like the law.
Not sure just how to interpret this bit but seems that some level of forcing the vote does exist currently.
I do agree that a lot of the evolved structure of Congressional rules could probably be improved. But I also agree with noggin-scratcher that factions are at the heart of the problem—both in terms of my question and my response here.
