“While they are at it they can go to DC and get rid of the Senate and get rid of it totally.”

Absolutely not! There should always be at least two houses of a legislature, to check eac hother. And they should be composed of different numbers, elected by different constituencies.

Why check each other? Maybe two Presidents too, so they can also check each other.

No the Senate is not representative of the people. We have one million in one state with the same representation as 40 million in another. Nebraska is unicameral and they are doing fine and cheaper.

The Check and Balances is between the Judiciary the Executive and the Legislative....a unicameral system, such as Nebraska has, preserves that.
