I don't think that's a winning issue. Since each chamber of Congress makes its own rules, a President can't do anything about it. And if someone like Sanders loses, there is not much they alone can do in the Senate to change the rules.
It would likely take an Article V convention of the states to pass an amendment to force single issue bills from Congress.

I know each house makes its own rules and the president doesn’t decide, but then again we will have all of the House and 1/3 of the Senate running in 2016, so they could say something to encourage that. Presidential candidates could too, to show their faith in the American people.
I think the representatives are kind of drunk on their power and skill in wheeling and dealing and would not really want this kind of change very much. It looks like a lot of fun, really. They wouldn’t have that much to do anymore—besides listen to their constituents and study the issues. Not to mention that the lobbying wouldn’t be quite so important.
