1916 All acts of War should be put to a national vote. Anyone who votes yes must immediately volunteer for the army.
I really like this one because it doesn't say declaration of war which is the loophole that's currently used it says acts of War.
So Obama couldn't use drones to go overseas and bomb people if there wasn't a national vote because even though he didn't declare war it is an act of war. Etc etc. That's really a much better way to do it.
1916 sounds good in principle, but it's not. It's literal "democracy" which is easily hacked. California has a proposition popular vote law, which has done horrific damage.
It's not the democratic voting part that makes it appealing, it's the conscription for all yes voters part. A system like this would practically guarantee no more US involvement in wars.
It's also done great good. It rolled back property taxes when the California legislature would have just continued to raise and raise them. The referendum system has worked very well in California on many things. We should have a national referendum system and a national recall system for all officers and or members of Congress elected officials as well as people holding jobs in the US government
