This first proposed Constitutional Amendment will improve Congressional operations as the election of the Speaker of the House and leader of the Senate would require a majority vote from both the majority and minority parties. This would mean Congressional leaders would need to be considerate of both the majority and minority viewpoints, leading to more compromise and less vitriol.
