Selecting A Vice President
Here's a solution for selecting the Vice President of the USA that will (hopefully) prevent another turd-burger like Dick "Dr. Strangelove" Cheney from taking office.
First, get rid of the Electoral College and go to electing using the popular vote.
In the Presidential election, the person with the second highest vote total becomes Veep.
In addition to being the president of the Senate, he/she should have, as a Senator-At-Large, full Senatorial priveleges, such as voting on all bills, introducing bills, sitting on committees, molesting pages and swimming in the tidal pool with hookers whilst inebriated.
Such a Constitutional amendment would give a large percentage of the population (the 48% or so that didn't vote for the winner) a greater voice in the Senate.
