The House of Representative was created to be the People's House. It was to be governed by the voice of the people. In order for the people to control their Congressional Representatives we need to ratify the First Amendment that was proposed in 1789.
Twelve Amendments were approved by Congress on March 25, 1789 and sent on to the state legislatures for ratification. The First and Second proposed amendments were not ratified by the requisite number of states..
The purpose of the amendment was to clarify the intent of Article 1 Section 2 Clause 3 which established how the states were to be represented in Congress. The founders believed that in order for the House to function properly the states would need to have one representative for every 30,000 people in respective states.
Currently House is not functioning properly due to the lack of adequate representation of the people. In order to restore the People's House we must reduce the size of the Congressional Districts and increase the number of representatives.
The current Congressional Districts have an average of over 700,000 people. All of the legislative power is vested in the hands of 435 representatives who serve the Wall Street bankers and corporations.
If we had a House of Representatives that was functioning properly, the representatives would prevent the President from his abuse of power.
