Make Decisions You are part of a special committee to streamline procedures in

the House of Representatives. Your first task is to reorganize the calendar for

scheduling floor debate. Describe one major change you would make and explain

how it would streamline the legislative process.

a) A major change in reorganizing the calendar for scheduling floor debate:

The change that I would propose will require the committee's work to be laid to the whole house on Day 1 with two debaters appointed.  On Day 2 two members, one opposing and the other supporting the bill will debate the bill.  After presenting their arguments on Day 2, members will vote on Day 3.  If the bill passes, then it is sent to the Senate on that date.

This change is expected to streamline the legislative process by saving the time members of the whole house would normally use to debate the bill.  It will also take immature arguments out of the process when each member channels their ideas to the side they are supporting.  The two debaters will then summarize their various shades of opinion in their presentations to the whole house.

Explanation:

The legislative process is the procedure that is followed in proposing a bill and passing it into law.  It is usually as follows:  First, a Representative sponsors a bill. The bill is then assigned to a committee for full study. After the committee's work, the bill is put on a calendar to be voted on, debated, or amended.  If the bill passes by simple majority (218 of 435) after the vote, it moves to the Senate.

Reorganizing the calendar for scheduling floor debate will make the debate process robust, and enable sensible votes to be cast.
