People see congress as being so broken that anything that asks congress to act is seen as a bad thing, is the problem.

  you're not wrong -- basically as soon as I read 'Congress can' I immediately LOL'd. Unfortunately I don't have any solution to this, as our system was clearly designed for, at bare minimum, a Congress which is at least slightly capable of functioning. Everything I've seen in the past decade though suggests that is no longer a reasonable thing to expect to be true at any point.

    Maybe congress would function better if we brought back Congressional fist fights on the house floor?

      Better yet, trial by combat. A battle to death.

    "any solution to this" Abolish first past the post system everywhere. Actually all countries should do it.
