PS - I hope to whatever person/idea you hold dear that YOU...yes YOU..the reader can agree that a law should be written about one topic only. If people can't see the benefit in a law being written for the sake of that law only and with all of the focus on that topic then I think the world in general is a lot further down the drain than I had thought. This is such a fundamental concept it frightens me that it needs to be stated....its like breathing...only more obvious (I'm just being facetious now).

edit: OMG, I just realized what this is....senators have been trolling each other's bills for 80+ years....LMAO

It's a nice idea but I think it would need a constitutional amendment to become a reality. One of the supposed effects of this would be that the president would get a de facto line-item veto power which congress does not want to give to the executive branch. I don't know how it would work if such a law were written that "a law should be written about one topic only" but in principle I definitely agree with you.

 I think the line item veto is a horrible idea also, both sides would just abuse it to hell and back, and I think we all know how much all politicians love to abuse their power. Also I definitely agree that the only way to permenantly put a stop to the stupidity that is pork is an amendment to the constitution.  But I also think that it is something that just about anyone can get behind....anyone except corrupt politicians lining their pockets that is.

 

I realise it is more than likely a pipe dream as the best way to make sure something never becomes a law is to have it be simple and basic common sense.
