The US Senate: Abolish, Keep the Same, or Reform? | Politics with Paul #109

from Politics with Paul · host Paul Rader

The US Senate often finds itself in the middle of controversy and as the subject of scorn. But does this mean we should eliminate it completely? Is it outdated ... or still a necessary part of American government? In today's episode of Politics with Paul, we tackle this question. While it's not a popular view, at its core are some of the most essential questions about how our government should work. The episode also covers why we need to know why the US Senate was created, the question of whether it is an extreme position, and potential changes to the US Senate including a lower threshold to override filibusters or slight changes to the number of Senators per state.
