This has nothing to do with whether there could be a referendum mechanism or not.
Congress (and the rest of the federal government) can and does do all of the absurdities you are suggesting is prevented by the people having no direct say.
- TameAntelope 5y agoI'm sorry, I don't understand your reference to referendum. It's by design that people have no direct say, however. That's a substantially worse system, by nearly every measurement, to generally employ.
- vmception 5y agoMost people’s referendum concepts only make it a ballot based on a swell in support for the referendum to begin with. A decent threshold of the population needs to want any particular measure to begin with. So most things would be squashed.
