KEN SAMUEL WILL GIVE POWER TO THE PEOPLE
There was a time when it was impractical for all of the citizens in a nation to have a say in their government's decisions. So a system was set up whereby a large number of people would select a single person to represent their interests. In this way, the opinions of many people could be expressed by one person who would make policy decisions on their behalf.
The founders of the American government took this approach. Rather than trying to fit millions of people into the halls of Congress, 535 people are there to represent the interests of everyone else. For example, the people in each state vote for two Senators who are given the power to vote on bills on behalf of those people. Each Senator is hired to represent the interests of their state.
Well I think everybody knows that the system doesn't work that way in practice, because the "representatives" don't really care much about the people who voted for them. They're completely focused on their own interests. They will do whatever it takes to further their career, which usually means helping powerful people rather than working for the other 99% of the people that they're supposed to represent. Sometimes politicians do find it profitable to vote as the people would, particularly right before an election, but that doesn't happen as often as it should.
But now the basic assumption behind the system is no longer true. Although we still can't fit hundreds of millions of people into the Capitol Building, there is a way for all American citizens to represent themselves now. Technology has made it possible for every American citizen to vote on congressional bills. It is not extremely difficult to set up a secure system that would enable any American to read a bill, watch the members of congress debate the bill, and then personally cast a vote for or against that bill. Representatives would gradually become obsolete.
Of course, there are still many details that will need to be worked out, but I have faith in the basic principle. And as President, I would begin to implement this system. I would make it possible for every citizen to vote on whether I should sign or veto each bill. I can't promise to always go with the majority decision, as there may be times when I am privy to information that is not available to the public. But I will certainly promise to let the citizens' decisions have a great amount of influence over my decisions.
