Parliamentary America

Book • 2024
In *Parliamentary America*, Maxwell L. Stearns argues that the U.S.

should adopt a parliamentary system to address its democratic challenges.

He proposes three constitutional amendments: expanding the House of Representatives, having House party coalitions choose the president, and allowing the House to remove a president via no-confidence votes.

Stearns draws on comparative politics and global examples to make his case for a more participatory democracy.
